The Royal Theatrical Support Trust (RTST) and the Octagon Theatre Bolton have announced the 2024 RTST Sir Peter Hall Director Award Scheme winner: Tanuja Amarasuriya. The two joint runners-up announced are Hannah Stone and Jasmine Teo.
Now in its eighth year, the Award – which honours the memory of RTST co-founder, Sir Peter Hall – offers the winner their first-time opportunity to direct a fully realised, mid-scale production of a classic or modern play in a British regional theatre and to take it on tour. At the same time the Award delivers meaningful financial support to the participating regional theatres.
