    I hope David Barry is being paid WGGB Rates. I say this as I am aware that Katapult make a point of saying they are Equity members and have advertised for a One Act Play on the Guild's website as well as S.O.A's. Both, of course, representing professional writers signed up to the minimum rates.

    I note that Katapult did not advertise this initially as a competition and I wrote to them to ask for more information. Sadly, this was duly ignored. Since they have chosen their plays they have used the word "competition".

    I would like to think this is not writing on the cheap or even free loading especially as Mr Barry is a professional Author.

    I am reminded of another Professional theatre company (also) on the Isle of Thanet that toured with a winning play back in 2000. The author got something like £300 in prize money.

    No doubt the cast and crew of Katapult are getting paid as this is a commercial venture?
