Set in Buffalo 1885. What does a dislocated elbow, a fainting assistant,  and a trusty camera have in common? The answer is Henrietta Pemberton, a  determined woman in a male preserve.  Emily Said, ‘The competition has been a really great opportunity for new writers, such as myself, as it has allowed us to showcase our work to industry professionals and a  wider public audience. Personally, this is the first writing competition  I have entered, and the process and feedback on my writing has provided an amazing experience. It has really helped to boost my confidence in sharing my writing and trusting in it. I never thought I would reach the final, but I’m so happy (and stunned!) that I did, and I look forward to the outcome of the competition and what comes next!  I hope the public enjoy my writing as they learn about an unusual and  extraordinary practice by photographers in the past. The humour in the  piece is meant to show the practice in a light-spirited way, to help  deal with what is a sad situation.”  Performed by Jill Connor  If you enjoyed this production, click the link to vote for it as your  favourite: https://www.thegreyhill.com/scriptcomp Production starts at appox 8min 32 secs --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/barry-robertson/message
