The OM/C$ Comedy Drama Award Winner

It's an important day for London art dealer Will Chapman. Read more …

His client, troubled Glaswegian artist, Peter Harris is due to unveil a painting commissioned by the Ministry of Defence. But was sending a fragile man, already on the edge, into a war zone really the best idea? And will the Defence Minister agree with Peter that he has created the greatest work of war art ever made? When the powerful worlds of art and politics collide it proves to be a combustable mix.


The critical consensus

A short, brilliant, savagely funny [play].

****(*)Joyce McMillan, 14/03/2013

Dick’s play is the winner of Channel 4 / Òran Mór’s inaugural Comedy Drama Award whose aim is to find the best in comedy writing in the UK from new or established talent. It is gallows humour rather than belly laughter on the menu of this excellent debut play but no less enjoyable for that.
