May 2006 - Sir Michael Caine Drama Award
| Congratulations to The
Ember Players and their victory in the Leatherhead Drama Festival.
Their production “Failed Investments” directed by Anne Minter managed
to beat off very stiff competition to win the coveted Sir Michael Caine
Drama Award. The talented cast consisted of Kathryn Graham, Gillian Beaney,
Nick Plaut, Cheryl St. George and Sue Wells, who was also nominated for
her strong performance in the Best Actress category.
The team were very pleased to be
performing in such a renowned festival. Director Anne Minter commented
that it has been “great working with four really committed
actresses…and of course the token male for his appearance at the end –
well done Nick” in such a challenging play that combined both humour and
sadness. Thank you to the
Festival organisers and also Andy Newbold for his fabulous photographs –

| Anne Minter’s Comments on
the award
“We were all shell-shocked when the
winner was announced as we were in
the middle of congratulating
Sue Wells for being nominated for Best
Actress! It’s been
great working with four really committed actresses in a play that has four
good roles for women. In the short time of the play each of them changes
their perspective on their own lives. The play combines humour and
some sadness. It’s been a challenge making a static play into
something that is good to watch on stage whilst resisting the temptation
to get people moving for no apparent reason or to make them into Music
Hall drunks. I'd also like to credit the token man for his
appearance - its not easy for anyone to come into a play so close to the
end and make the appropriate impact. Well done Kathryn,
Sue, Gillian, Cheryl and
Nick".
