South-West Shorts is an initiative of Western Edge Performance Writers in Perth, Western Australia to foster relationships between Perth and South-West writers and create an opportunity for original local work to be performed and distributed. Writers from the City of Busselton, the Shire of Augusta-Margaret River, and the City of Bunbury in Western Australia were invited by Western Edge Performance Writers in Perth to join them in writing a short, original monologue or duologue about life in WA's south-west for the 2017 program. A panel of judges then chose six finalists: three from the South-West region and three from Perth. These plays were performed at a rehearsed reading at Rivendell Winery in Yallingup on Sunday 26th March 2017.
