Representing theatre critics : Mark Shenton, theatre critic for the Sunday Express and a regular columnist and blogger for The Stage, Playbill (USA) and other publications
Representing academia : Professor Jane Moody who holds a personal chair in the Centre for Eighteenth–Century Studies at the University of York and, among her books on theatre, Illegitimate Theatre in London was a runner up for this prize in 2000
The panel is chaired by Howard Loxton for the Society for Theatre Research, who votes only if there is a tie. The Theatre Book PrizeThe Theatre Book Prize was first awarded for 1997 to celebrate the Jubilee of the Society for Theatre Research. It was created to encourage the writing and publication of books on British theatre history and practice, both those which present the theatre of the past and those which record contemporary theatre for the future. It is now presented annually for a book on British or British related theatre which an independent panel of judges considers to be the best published during the year. All new works of original research first published in English are eligible except for play texts and studies of drama as literature.
Please note that all three Archive indices are very long and will therefore take some time to download.
