The
Drama Section of the Critics' Circle is the oldest of the Circle's
sections. The section's Theatre Awards have been in existence
since 1989 and have included since 1996 the Jack Tinker Award for Most
Promising Newcomer. In 2001 a new award was instituted in memory of the
husband and wife critical partnership of John and Wendy Trewin. It
takes the form of a medal for the Best Shakespearian Performance of the
year. In 2006, the award for best new or revived musical, which until
1994 had been the award for best new musical, was renamed the Peter
Hepple Award for Best Musical in honour of the late Peter Hepple's
outstanding contribution to the Critics' Circle.

The
section is also affiliated to the International Association of Theatre
Critics, a body with similar aims on an international scale. The IATC
holds a congress every two years. The Association's current President
is Ian Herbert, former editor of Theatre Record and former Secretary of
the Drama Section. Details of IATC aims and activities can be found at www.aict-iatc.
