19th Critics' Circle Theatre Awards Held Jan. 29

The 19th Critics' Circle Theatre Awards, hosted by the Circle's Drama Section Chairman, Charles Spencer, theatre critic of The Daily Telegraph, will be held on Tuesday, January 29, 2008 at the Prince of Wales Theatre, London.

As ever, the ceremony will be an informal gathering of award recipients, the drama critics, theatre practitioners, and the media, convivially coming together to celebrate the critics' personal choice of the best in theatre, from throughout the UK, during the last calendar year. In contrast with other theatre awards during this jam-packed trophy season, the Critics' Circle Theatre Award winners are always decided by the independent votes of Drama Section members, with no panel discussions or public/industry influence exerted.

For the fourth year, the ceremony is presented in association with Nyman Libson Paul Chartered Accountants, leading entertainment industry specialists, and supported by Delfont Mackintosh Theatres and lastminute.com .
