The Louise Esson Prize for Drama: Winner 2006

This year's winner is Stephen Sewell, for Three Furies: Scenes from the Life of Francis Bacon (Adelaide Festival).


A scene from 'Three Furies' by Stephen Sewell

Judges report

Three Furies is ambitious and confronting in its take on the artist, his work, and the torturous relationship with his lover. It deals with the pain that creativity can bring with it, and is enriched by the particular poetry possible in the theatre.
