Established a decade ago as a response to the lack of coverage given to our Off West-End theatre scene, The Off West-End Awards, also known as The Offies, have championed the great work produced by smaller independent venues and companies, these venues crucial to our theatrical ecosystem. Adapting to our newly established digital theatre world, OffWestEnd have introduced the ‘OnComm Award’, an online commendation highlighting the creativity of the theatre world during and post the Covid pandemic. OffWestEnd recently awarded Philip Ridley’s Poltergeist with an OnComm Award, marking the award’s 100th recommendation. Director Geoffrey Brown tells us more about these crucial awards and their impact within the theatre industry.
