Proof, one of the two New Theatre shows that travelled up to Scarborough for NSDF last week, collected five awards at the Festival’s closing ceremony.

• Directors’ Guild Award for Best Director: Guy Unsworth
• Spotlight Award for Best Actress: Anna Wheatley
• Judges Award for Acting: Lizzie Bourne
• Best Sound Design: Nick Breen
• Best Set Design: Guy Unsworth & Crew

This is a fantastic achievement. The NSDF is a Festival that celebrates the best Student theatre in the country. Just getting selected is an enormous complement to any Company. But to win these awards is staggering. And what’s more, practically every facet of theatre is represented in the categories above. On behalf of the New Theatre Committee, and all the Members, I’d like to offer hearty congratulations and much respect to the cast and crew of Proof, who did us all extremelly proud at the Festival.

Proof was originally supported by KPMG and received a generous grant from the University of Nottingham to attend NSDF.
