Her first play to be produced by BATS was “Kisses In The Sky”, set in Milton in Brisbane behind the Castlemaine brewery, and the name referred to the four Xs on the roof. This was followed by many others over the next 20 years. Writing was Edythe’s passion. Many of her plays have been published by The Australian Script Centre. Prior to her passing, Edythe made provision in her will for the Edythe Brooke-Cooper Trust, established to sponsor a local playwriting competition. Considering Edythe’s affiliation with BATS Theatre Co. Inc., they were chosen by the Trustees to act as administrators of this competition under specific guidelines set down by Edythe. BATS Theatre Co. Inc. is very proud to present this competition on behalf of Edythe. The competition is to be run biennially alternating between one-act plays and full length plays. It is the objective of this competition to foster and encourage playwrights, whether amateur or professional, who will be judged on the quality of their written script, and its suitability in a theatre setting.These scripts will be judged anonymously and equally by an adjudication panel.
