Our Director Award Scheme offered the opportunity for an up-and-coming director to direct a fully-funded, touring production of a classic play – co-produced by Nuffield Southampton Theatres, English Touring Theatre and Theatr Clwyd. The winner was Chelsea Walker, who directed 'A Streetcar Named Desire'.
