- Holly Robinson – Fault
- David Lydon – Surveillance
- Sandra Wareham – Fluteman – the Lambeth Reader’s Group Winner
- fifteen year old Riona Millar -The Lilies – winner of the 21 and under category.
The selected plays will be developed with a director and cast, and staged as part of the Lambeth Readers and Writers Festival.
