The 12th annual theatre awards took place online on Scenesaver for the second year whereby anyone could view the ceremony live from their own homes for free. Presented by the director of the Offies – Geoffrey Brown, from Battersea Arts Centre the award ceremony receives hundreds of submissions and recognises talent from otherwise unseen talent, companies and shows. It is a sprawling beast of an awards ceremony with more than 40 awards which feels apt given it reflects the Off West End landscape in London, the UK and beyond. Founded in 2011 to shine a light on the importance and value of Off West End theatre.
