TMA have just announced the nominations for the 2013 UK Theatre Awards, and we are so thrilled to announce JUMPERS FOR GOALPOSTS by Tom Wells has been nominated in the Best New Play category.
PP’s Joint Artistic Directors, James and George have said:
“We are thrilled that Tom’s beautiful, heart-warming comedy has been recognised by The Theatre Awards UK. Tom is one of the finest voices to emerge in recent years and JUMPERS FOR GOALPOSTS cements his reputation as writer of rare comic brio and real heart. We are so proud to have co-produced this important play with Watford Palace and Hull Truck, and to have toured it nationwide, to audiences who have instantly related to Tom’s team of lacklustre footballers and cheered them on in victory and defeat.”
The other nominees for Best New Play are:
- BULL by Mike Bartlett a Sheffield Theatres production
- JUMPERS FOR GOALPOSTS by Tom Wells a Paines Plough, Hull Truck and Watford Palace Theatre production
