LWF nominated for Off West End Award

The Quiet Volume by Ant Hampton & Tim Etchells has been nominated in the Best Entertainment catagory of the 2011/12 Off West End Awards, or Offies. The Offies were launched last year aiming to recognise the wealth and ingenuity of independent theatre across London. The awards are run by OffWestEnd.com and the winners are chosen by a panel of theatre critics.

We’re delighted to have made the shortlist from over 400 productions considered; and it’s a privelege to be nominated alongside major theatres and pioneering fringe spaces. The winners are announced on 5th February 2012. So watch this space.

The Quiet Volume is a whispered, audio theatre piece for two at a time, set in a public library. We toured it through three London libraries across the festival: The Bishopsgate, Hackney Central and Senate House. More details on the production here.

Further info on The Offies – including all other awards and nominations – can be found here

Well, its been quite a month. We kicked off with an apology at Toynbee Cafe, yummed down George Orwell’s marmalade, played Scrabble and peeled back the curtains on infamous East End strip joint Ye Olde Axe. We tinkered with machines (and men), celebrated the birthday of King James’ best seller and spent a whole lot of time in libraries. Simon Munnery wrestled women, Chris Goode blew bubbles and a whole lot happened in between.

Dodgem Logic did a fantastic job of hosting our penultimate event at Hackney’s Round Chapel. And tonight sees the final event at Bethnal Green Working Man’s before we totter off for another year to think about what happens next.

An incredible line-up wraps things up with Tim Key, Will Adamsdale, David Trent, Bridget Christie, Thom Tuck & more. A bundle of three minute ‘indoctrinations’ hosted by Colin Hoult and featuring a very big machine, all in the style of The Prisoner. Previous knowledge of the show not required. Wear a hat if you have one.
