JamesLadies in LavenderNorthenden PlayersTechnical AwardIngenious stage design for Ladies in Lavender
AndrewAnd a Nightingale SangSummerseat PlayersTechnical AwardAn overall cohesion to the set that worked to allow scenes to flow; slick lighting changes helped to drive the play forward; rear projection; the many sound effects—piano, mouth organ, air ride sirens, bombs—were perfect; the timing between recorded piano and live dialogue was outstandingly executed
AndrewBrontëFarnworth Little TheatreWinnerTechnical AwardVery complex, but magnificently atmospheric and perfectly cued lighting plot using overhead rig. Commissioned scores are very rare indeed: the ambient piano and flute gave an otherworldly feel to not only scene changes but also played under certain key scenes. The opening song, beautifully performed and spellbinding in theatrical effect, was the perfect way to start the play. Sound effects such as the sea, school bell and the wind were not overused. The eerie howl and change of lights for Branwell’s death scene combined brilliantly. Technically faultless from beginning to end.
AndrewKinderstransportPlayers Theatre CheadleTechnical AwardCarefully designed multi-part set; well-chosen and appropriate props; inventive, smooth and vivid lighting; impactful rear projections.
AndrewThe Tenant of Wildfell HallSummerseat PlayersTechnical AwardIngenious staging; stylised settings; washes, silhouettes and spots; brave music choices.
AndrewView from the BridgeSale NomadsTechnical AwardOpen, practical, multi-purpose set; slick, smooth and imaginative lighting; scene changes illustrated by 1950s jazz moving to key moment accompanied by more modern, electronic almost ambient sounds that combined music and sound effects.
