We are pleased to announce that Matthew Bourne's New Adventures has been awarded The Stage International Award in recognition of taking Sleeping Beauty to audiences across Asia in 2016!
Announcing the nominees, Alistair Smith, print editor of The Stage and chair of the judging panel, said: “Congratulations to all our brilliant winners. The Stage Awards are the only awards that celebrate theatre of all scales, from all four corners of the UK and across the globe."
