The event was held (thanks to the extraordinary Stephanie Campion of Moving Parts, who organised a zoom reading of the plays), the votes were cast, and the winner of this years Little Wonder Radio Play Competition is Denise Deegan with “The Last PTA Meeting.”

Warmest congratulations are also due to our other finalists, Amber Elen-Forbat, Mark Blayney, Paul Stone, and Declan Kennedy, who helped ensure an excellent evenings entertainment with imaginative, inventive and diverse plays that would have been worthy competition winners themselves. Thank you everyone.
