Just got some brilliant news, The Girl in the Yellow Dress - our hit from last year’s Edinburgh Festival - has won two awards at South Africa’s star-studded Naledi Awards:

BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTRESS IN A LEAD ROLE (PLAY)

With entertainment on the night provided by multi-Grammy Award-winning Soweto Gospel Choir, our colleagues from Market Theatre, Johannesburg donned black tie glamour to accept their awards and celebrate another year of great theatre.
