In a first for the industry, a report has being published into the theatre-going habits of Fringe and Off West End audiences. It was launched at The Offies 2012 and we were the sponsors of the Best Producer Award that was won by a well-deserving Danielle Tarento. Congratulations!

Organised by iTrend Research Ltd and OFFWESTEND.com, the report follows a survey conducted during November 2011, in which over 5000 theatre-goers participated.
