Established in 1976, the Olivier Awards celebrate the world-class status of London theatre and are Britain’s most prestigious stage honours. The awards were previously known as the Society of West End Theatre Awards (or SWET Awards!), before being renamed in 1984 after Laurence Olivier, in recognition of his contribution to British theatre both as an actor and a director.
Stream last year’s full ceremony, as well as performances and speeches from the last decade, on the Official London Theatre YouTube channel.
