Editor of London Pub Theatres, Heather Jeffery has commented to say that This year is especially poignant having survived the uncertainty and terrible blows of the past months with a triumphant return. It shows the resilience of this essential sector of the theatre industry. Head Judge, Award winning Playwright David Weir comments, As live theatre returns we’re glad to have the chance to recognise the hard work and talent of many of those who’ve kept the flame lit during the darkness.”
