Congratulations to our Off West End award winners for The Flea — Jay Miller for Best Director, Lambdog1066 for Best Costume Design and Naomi Kyuck-Cohen on their nomination for Best Set Design.

These individual accolades bring us a lot of joy, we know they are the result of the collective efforts of the entire team. Our love for The Flea fam truly knows no boundaries. We celebrated with a pickled herring dinner (IF YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW). Truly disgusting.

This news comes during the success of another ★★★★★ show Samuel Takes A Break, and the remount of ★★★★★ The Last Show Before We Die from HOTTER project, due to popular demand.

"In the face of theatre’s current landscape, we refuse to bow down to intense negativity,” Artistic Director, Jay Miller said, "We’ve witnessed a surge of exhilarating new voices, fostering talent both on and offstage, and received an overwhelmingly positive response from our audiences. We’re so lucky to work with the most talented creatives in the business and as we charge ahead into 2024, expect nothing but greatness from The Yard.”

As Jay accepted the award at the Off West End awards, issuing a rallying cry – “Today feels as difficult [when talking about the founding of The Yard in 2011], if not more difficult in terms of making theatre. So what can we do? Please write to your opposition candidate. We have to lobby, write, and talk to as many people as possible who have any influence over the next government for more money in the arts. It’s essential. We need to imagine a better future, and we can only do that together."
