Lepus awarded Peter Schaffer Award
Lepus have been awarded The Peter Schaffer Award by The National Theatre, London, to develop a new piece by Martin Green
Lepus have been awarded the Peter Schaffer Award amongst a number of excellent companies who are also developing new work. The award is to develop new, original plays, for more than 3 actors.
This award will allow Lepus to develop their next project with writer and composer Martin Green. An award that intentionally allows us to think big is a very rare thing these days - so we are really appreciative of the recognition and support like this.
"In nurturing talent from across the UK, this partnership will continue Sir Peter’s legacy, inspiring and supporting emerging talent."
