**BEST ACTOR IN A PLAY
**BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR IN A PLAY

*BEST PLAY REVIVAL (IMPORTANT! Maurice is not a new play, AND some very big West End productions have already been nominated in the BEST NEW PLAY category…)
BEST DIRECTION
BEST SET DESIGN
BEST LIGHTING DESIGN
STRATEGY:
The WoS awards shortlist AND winners are both decided entirely by public vote. This is a great opportunity to nominate and support the productions that matter to us – and, as everyone who was stunned by Maurice at ATS already knows, ALSO an important way for us to support the astonishing cast and deliver a message that this production needs a transfer. However, the WoS nominations and winners tend to be dominated by big West End shows and big names – and (no surprise) every show mobilises its fans for these awards.
In short, to get anywhere, Maurice and its cast need nominations from as many people as humanly possible, and please think strategically when making your nominations.
Thank you!
