For the first time since the Matilda Awards were established in 1987 with the aim of recognising and celebrating the excellence of southeast Queensland’s theatre industry, a single award has been presented in the Gold Matilda category.
In another first, that award was presented posthumously to the late Carol Burns, a much-loved stage and screen actor who died late last year aged 68.
