Scotland's leading theatre awards come to the Traverse as part of the theatre's 60th anniversary celebrations. BAFTA-award winning actor Shauna MacDonald and River City actor (and uber panto villain) Grant Stott are your hosts for this glittering celebration of the best of Scottish theatre.

Topping the nominations is May Sumbwanyambe’s “harrowing but uplifting” drama Enough of Him about Joseph Knight, who freed himself from slavery through the Scottish courts, which was co-produced by the National Theatre of Scotland and Pitlochry Festival Theatre, has received six nominations. Meanwhile, Ramesh Meyyappan’s ‘beautifully poignant’ Love Beyond, (Act of Remembrance) – co-produced by Raw Material and Vanishing Point – which raised awareness of the impact of dementia in the Deaf community, has received five nominations. These two productions were among more than 120 new works produced in Scotland that were eligible for the 2023 Awards.

The Traverse Theatre is funded by Creative Scotland and the City of Edinburgh Council, with additional support from the Recovery Fund for Creative Organisations.
