A prize celebrating female playwrights has announced its return with its largest prize fund yet, aiming to redress the imbalance in the number of plays by women produced on major stages in the UK and Ireland.
Indhu Rubasingham, announced as the director of the National Theatre last year, marking the first time that a woman and a person of colour has taken on the biggest role in British theatre, will once again chair the event with the winner being awarded £20,000.
