The
Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch is delighted that its homecoming revival of
Abigail’s Party, co-produced with Derby Theatre, Wiltshire Creative and Les Théâtres de la Ville de Luxembourg, has received four nominations in the prestigious
Off West End Theatre Awards.
Assessors from
The Offies (Off West End Theatre Awards) have nominated
Abigail’s Party for
Best Production,
Melanie Gutteridge for
Best Female Performance, Susie Emmett for
Best Female Performance in a Supporting Role and
Lee Newby for
Best Set Design.
The
OffWestEnd.com website, which champions London’s independent theatres, launched the annual awards – also known as
The Offies - in 2010 to celebrate excellence in productions outside the West End. The
Queen’s Theatre is one of over 80 participating venues across the capital and a final shortlist of nominees will come out early next year.
The fresh and faithful look at
Mike Leigh’s iconic classic is directed by
the Queen’s Theatre’s Artistic Director
Douglas Rintoul. Set in seventies Romford, with Demis Roussos top of the hit parade and adults behaving disgracefully, it’s social awkwardness at its best at the drinks party from hell!
Abigail’s Party runs at the
Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch until
Saturday 22 September. The production will then tour to Derby Theatre (26 September – 20 October), Salisbury Playhouse (30 October – 17 November) and Les Théâtres de la Ville de Luxembourg (27 – 29 November). For more information about the show call the Box Office on
