Evening News Drama Awards winners announced
TWO of the Capital's best known amateur theatre companies are celebrating after winning Evening News Drama Awards for Best Musical and Best Play, on the 2008 Fringe.
Members of Forth Children's Theatre were left shocked and elated when, in their 30th anniversary year, they were presented with the inaugural Evening News Drama Award for Best Musical by BBC I'd Do Anything star, Niamh Perry, for their production of Jekyll and Hyde.
Edinburgh Theatre Arts were also winners, picking up the Evening News Drama Award for Best Play for their production of Dennis Potter's Blue Remembered Hills, from legendary Bullseye host Jim Bowen in a glittering ceremony in the Library Bar of the Gilded Balloon.
More than 100 actors, directors and producers from all 13 of the nominated amateur companies watched the presentation of the awards, known as ENDAs.
Introduced last year, they recognise the work of local companies during the Fringe, where coverage is often dominated by large-scale productions from across the world.
