Chicken Shop wins 'London Fringe Production of the Year' Award

Epsilon's production of Chicken Shop, which ran at the Park Theatre (Park90) in September, has won West End Frame's London Fringe Production of the Year Award. 

Speaking to West End Frame, producer Angela Bull said: "Thank you West End Frame for this recognition. The buzz you get when you find a script that you know is special is so exciting, and then when the whole team come together for the first time, cast and crew, that excitement is palpable. 

"Epsilon couldn't have wished for a better team of people to be involved in a production. This award is for all of us and for the hard work that was put in. We would also like to thank the Park Theatre for housing us through the summer and believing in our season. 

"We all had such an amazing time working on Chicken Shop and so to top everything off by winning this award truly is the cherry on top. Above all, the show would have been nothing without its audience, who not only showed immense support during the run but have now gone a step further and voted us London Fringe Production of the Year. It just doesn't get any better than that! Thank you!"
