I am honoured to be nominated by UK Theatre to receive this most prestigious award. To be recognised by my own industry like this is truly humbling. This tremendous accolade would not have been possible without the fantastic support that I receive from the brilliant Creative Industries producing great theatre in creative hubs in every part of the UK. Communities and venues large and small, with their warm and welcoming audiences and generous supporters – this award is also for them.

Carlos Acosta, Director

Carlos continues to inspire audiences and artists across the UK and beyond; we couldn’t be prouder to see his remarkable work celebrated on this national stage.

Congratulations, Carlos!
