For the first time ever I missed the second day of IMATS but the reason was a good one. The second annual Off West End Theatre Awards. Had you been paying the slightest bit of attention to me over the last two years, you will know that I am one of the judges of this event, which views independent productions in London throughout the year and awards the best of them.This year, Sean and I trudged over to Stratford for brunch in Westfield - Balans for those who might be interested - and then on to the Theatre Royal, Stratford East where Sofie Mason and her team had arranged a wonderful reception for the nominees, sponsors and judges.
Whilst there were no surprises for me as such, I was still desperately excited by the awards and cheered loudly as the nominations and the winners were read out. Of course, I may not have agreed with all the winners but that is the nature of a democratic panel and to be honest, it is never the raging, heated debate you might think.
