While Away got pipped for best play by Stuff Happens there was still a strong Queensland showing at last night's Helpmann Awards in Sydney. Christen O'Leary (pictured), Russell Dykstra and Lisa Gasteen all took away awards (although Gasteen, who was laid low by a vorus lastweek, was unable to attend). It was a star-studded affair and I came back with some interesting material for my Sunday Mail column.
