On Wednesday (30th October) we revealed that Sion Daniel Young (pictured right) had won the 2013 West End Frame Award for 'Best Dramatic Performance'. Sion won the award for for his portrayal of Albert Narracott in the West End production of War Horse.
Speaking to West End Frame today (1st November), Sion said: "To be in a list of nominees with so many wonderful actors was enough of a surprise, so to win is a genuine shock."
He continued to say: "Thanks to everyone who voted and to everyone in the company at War Horse as everything we do is always a team effort. We're blessed with fantastic audiences, without whom we'd be nothing. Thank you!"

Sion joined the National Theatre's production at the New London Theatre earlier this year and continues to play the role to great acclaim. Our 'Best Dramatic Performance' Award was a celebration of the most powerful and heart wrenching performances which move audiences night after night in theatreland.
Sion’s work in theatre includes Titus at the Imaginate Festival, Llwyth (Tribe) for Sherman Theatre Cymru, House of America and The Radicalisation of Bradley Manning for National Theatre Wales and The Welsh Boy at Theatre Royal, Bath. His television credits include Tissues and Issues and Hotel Eddie while his film credits include Private Peaceful, Daisy Chain and The Street.
War Horse is currently celebrating its sixth year on the London stage. Nick Stafford’s adaptation of Michael Morpurgo’s book received its world premiere at the National Theatre in October 2007 and has since been seen by over 4 million people worldwide. War Horse is currently booking at the New London Theatre until 27th October 2014.
Unlike other theatre awards, West End Frame only opens voting for one category at a time and combines male and female actors from musicals and plays into the same categories. Click here for more information.
