Killarney writer Méabh de Brún a Zebbie awards finalist
Killarney-based writer Méabh de Brún has been named a finalist in the prestigious 2024 WGI Zebbie Awards.
The awards celebrate the best of Irish writing for stage, screen, and radio.
De Brún's radio play, High Spirits, has been shortlisted in the Best Radio & Audio Drama Script category. High Spirits, which was broadcast on Near FM, is a dark comedy about three siblings and an in-law who gather after their patriarch's burial to fulfill his unusual wishes.
The Zebbie Awards ceremony will take place on Tuesday, September 3rd, at The Sugar Club in Dublin. The awards will be presented by Tara Flynn.
The WGI Zebbie Awards are named in honour of O.Z. 'Zebby' Whitehead, a Broadway and Hollywood actor who was a great supporter of theatre and writing in Ireland. This year's awards are taking place as the Writers' Guild of Ireland celebrates its Emerald Anniversary, marking 55 years since its establishment.
The WGI represents over 400 Irish writers for film, television, theatre, radio, animation, and games. They campaign for rights, remuneration, more control of work, and better recognition for their members.
In addition to the Zebbie Awards, the WGI will also be presenting former Senator David Norris with the WGI's Special Services to Writers Award in recognition of his support for the Guild and Irish writers.
