Much cheering at PP HQ at the news that Penelope Skinner scooped the prestigious Evening Standard Award for Most Promising Playwright at yesterday’s awards.
Penelope’s play THE SOUND OF HEAVY RAIN is currently playing as part of our Roundabout Season in Sheffield, and she was formerly part of our Future Perfect playwright’s group.
We loved her play THE VILLAGE BIKE at The Royal Court earlier this year, for which she was honoured.
Huge congratulations to Penelope. We’re dead proud.
