Scots Mack & Bissett Win Stage Acting Awards

Chair of the awards William McEvoy said this year’s nominations had proved that “storytelling is back with a vengeance”, adding that he felt 2009 has been an “extraordinary year with numerous outstanding shows and performances”. Nearly 350 productions were considered for the awards, which are judged each year by The Stage newspaper’s senior reviewing team.

Other winners this year were Belfast-based Green Shoot Productions, who won Best Ensemble for Chronicles of Long Kesh at Assembly, and George Mann, who won Best Solo Performer for his physical retelling of Homer’s Odyssey in Theatre ad Infinitum’s production at the Pleasance Dome.
