| Winner: Patrick Maguire |
A Young Merseyside
writer has beaten two seasoned dramatists to win £150 in the Ticket to Write
international Beatles-themed play festival.
Patrick Maguire from
Litherland’s play You Are Lennon took
the honours against Stalking The Beatles by
Maureen Brady Johnson from Oberlin, Ohio and Face in a Jar entered by Rob Taylor from London.
The three one-act
plays, staged at Unity Theatre, Liverpool, on Friday 16 and Saturday 17
October, were judged by theatre professionals Ian Kellgren and Clare Dow with
the audience from both nights making a third judge.
“It was just really
great to see the play staged,” said a delighted Patrick after the result was
announced on Saturday.
Patrick graduated from The Young Writers Course hosted by The Everyman
and Playhouse Theatres in June 2014 and was a semi-finalist of Ticket to
Write’s maiden festival.
“All the plays were
warmly applauded by the audience and I’m always humbled by the effort put in by
the teams,” said producer Jamie Gaskin from Southport, who devised the event.
Over its four years the
Ticket to Write Festival has attracted nearly 80 plays about Liverpool’s
favourite sons.
