The Dukes outdoor walkabout production of The Hobbit in Lancaster has been nominated for a UK Theatre Award.
The version of the Tolkien classic story attracted more than 17,000 people from Dundee to Windsor and as far afield as North America to Malaysia when it was performed in Williamson Park during July and August.
It has been nominated as Best Show For Children And Young People alongside Birmingham Stage Company’s production of Gangsta Granny and Little Red And The Wolf by Dundee Rep Ensemble.
Meanwhile, Oldham Coliseum artistic director and chief executive Kevin Shaw is one of three people across the UK shortlisted for the Theatre Manager of the Year award.
