This weekend, Lola Arias received the International Ibsen Award for 2024 at the award’s formal presentation in Oslo. This is a massive and well-deserved achievement for this groundbreaking theatre director. The award honours ‘an individual, an institution or organisation that has brought a new artistic dimension to the world of drama or theatre’.

We were proud to have celebrated her work in our 2019 publication ‘Lola Arias: Re-enacting Life’, edited by Jean Graham-Jones, seen celebrating the award celebration at an Oslo bookshop this weekend.
