2011 retrospective - the plays

I've been procrastinating like a lazy thing with my round-up of things I have enjoyed most at the theatre this year. My old format of picking one winner per category left a lot of wonderful things unsung, and my attempts to come up with a top 5/10/15/25 list are better left uninvestigated. Seeing as choosing a format for praising theatrical excellence was proving such a trial, I ultimately decided to ignore formatting all together and just get on with it. As things currently stand, there'll be five posts in the end: plays I have loved, musicals I have loved, Shakespeares I have loved, performers I have loved, and creatives I have loved. So if you want to check out the twelve plays I have loved the most this year, read on:

2011 Interval Awards - the performers

If you were here in January, you know the drill. If not, it is as follows: musical performers and play performers are not differentiated between. Leading performers and supporting performers are not differentiated between. This is simply a top 5 of actors and a top 5 of actresses. And maybe a stray or two at the bottom, we'll see how it goes.

2011 Interval Awards - the productions

Blame Lorannah. She gets to December, and she can't remember what she saw in the first half of the year. Or something. So she thought it might be quite nice to do a six month round-up, in much the manner or a yearly round-up, to make sure that the first half of the year doesn't get neglected when the blogosphere gets happy with awards. As I am a sucker for anything that gets me blogging without the commitment of writing regular reviews, I am ALL OVER THIS. So without further ado! Let's get intervalling!
