A small city theatre with big ambitions has won a major award at an annual event celebrating some of the best in the industry.
The independent Alphabetti Theatre in St James’ Boulevard, opposite Discovery Museum, has been awarded Fringe Theatre of the Year at The Stage Awards, beating London rivals. And its success recognises its work over the past year as the theatre industry continues its fight-back from the effects of the Covid lockdown.
The theatre team took to Twitter to share news of their award, saying: Wow! Thank you! WE DID IT! We want to thank all our audiences, staff, freelancers, artists and board of trustees. This means a lot to us as a team and we are so lucky to have the support of the region and to have this recognition."
