Dateline: 25th January, 2004 Theatre in Wales Awards 2004 The results of the voting in the third annual Theatre in Wales Awards has ended and the results were announced at a special presentation ceremony at Aberystwyth Arts Centre at 6.30pm on Friday 23rd January. There were eight categories of awards this year, and the winners were selected by visitors to www.theatre-wales.co.uk, the leading Internet resource for news, information, reviews and comment on performance in Wales. The results are as follows:
Keith Morris, the editor of the Theatre in Wales web site, said, "The response this year has been amazing, with votes coming in thick and fast right up to the final moment. The lead in many of the categories was changing hour by hour and it wasn't until the very last minute that we could be certain who would win these much sought-after awards. It's a reflection of the strength and vitality of the theatre and dance scene in wales that we had such a turn out, and that the winners of awards came from all corners of Wales. Talent, it seems, is to be found everywhere." The James Westaway award is sponsored by Parthian Books, Cardigan, Wales's foremost publishers of contemporary drama, in memory of actor James Westaway who died tragically young in 2002. Each of the winners will receive a cheque for £150 donated by the Department of Film Theatre and Television, University of Wales, Aberystwyth. They will also receive a specially hand made glass trophy designed by Sian Lyle, a young artist from Aberystwyth who is rapidly emerging as a major talent and who has only recently returned from a residency in America. The Theatre in Wales awards also receive financial support from New Welsh Review and from Aberystwyth Arts Centre. The awards are organised and administered by Red Snapper web designs. Please note that all three Archive indices are very long and will therefore take some time to download.
