SHORTLIST tells the story of two enemy novelists who duel for the ultimate writing prize in a fast-paced, war-of-the-words comedy. Multiple Fringe First award-winning playwright Brian Parks plunges into the writing world with a Withnail-esque joust between literature’s two sharpest pens. Year after year, Higgins and Houghton find themselves pitched against each other on the shortlist for literature’s number-one title, never winning. But this year is different, each primed to strike and finally grab it. All that stands in their way is each other.
