Editorial Staff
London's West End

The shortlists for the 57th Evening Standard Awards were announced today (7 November 2011), with subsidised venues the Royal Court and National Theatre claiming 17 nominations between them (eight and nine respectively).

We’ve gathered a collection of images from this year’s nominated productions – including Benedict Cumberbatch and Jonny Lee Miller who alternated as Frankenstein and The Creature at the National Theatre earlier this year and will battle it out for the Best Actor gong.

The Awards will this year be presented in a ceremony hosted by Barry Humphries (aka Dame Edna Everage) which will be held at the Savoy Hotel on Sunday 20 November 2011.
