Slingsby’s witty and whimsical Ode to Nonsense and the Brink Productions/English Touring Theatre play Thursday, inspired by the story of London bombings survivor Gill Hicks, are among the disparate works vying for 2013 Ruby Awards.

Both productions have been shortlisted for the Best Work award in the Rubys, which celebrate excellence in arts and culture in South Australia. Other finalists in the category are the State Theatre Company of South Australia’s contemporary adaptation of Ibsen’s Hedda Gabler and Windmill’s re-telling of the classic children’s tale Pinocchio, complete with pop-rock soundtrack.

The shortlist announced on Saturday also sees four contenders for the Best Event title: the joint Samstag Museum of Art/Carrick Hill exhibition Master of Stillness: Jeffrey Smart paintings 1940-2011; the Kumuwuki/Big Wave Regional Arts Australia National Conference 2012, run by Country Arts SA; JamFactory in the City – celebrating 40 years; and the Art Gallery of South Australia’s Turner from the Tate: The Making of a Master.
