Be Inspired Champion: Edwin Shaw

First Published 4 April 2017, Last Updated 4 April 2017

The Olivier Awards with Mastercard, the UK’s most prestigious stage honours, have unveiled 6 inaugural “Be Inspired Champions”. Nominated by members of the public and theatre industry, these six individuals have motivated and inspired others with their love and commitment to theatre.

In the fifth and penultimate of our Be Inspired Champions video series, we meet Edwin Shaw, a friend and mentor to many in the theatre industry, nominated by Mark Fox, Advertising Manager for Really Useful Theatres Group Ltd.

Beginning his career in 1957 as Box Office Clerk at Sheffield’s Empire Theatre, Edwin is now in his 60th year in show business, 22 of which were spent as Box Office Manager at the London Palladium. Edwin still consults for Really Useful Theatres, as well as producers across the country.

You can keep up to date with all the Olivier Awards news between now and the grand occasion on Official London Theatre, and by following us on Twitter and Facebook. You can also follow the Oliviers’ own Twitter, Facebook and Instagram accounts.
