Sita is a reader for George Devine Award 2021

Sita was invited to be a reader to help the organisation reach the long-list for the prestigious award for new writing.

It was set up in 1966 as a memorial to the life and talent of George Devine, a Director and Actor who launched a Writers’ movement that revolutionised theatre.

The award of £15,000 invites submissions annually from Theatres, Organisations and Agents around the UK for an original new stage play from a promising playwright.

Emily White was announced as the winner of the award for her play Atlantis, described by judges as "at once intimate and epic, fearless and tender"
