In that presentation, judge Graham Cowley describes Dark Star as “a joy to read. The current pandemic meant the planned public presentation had to be cancelled and the announcement simply made online through the STR web site but, following what has become a traditional procedure, the online presentation includes the judges' remarks on the books, especially those on the shortlist. The judging panel of theatre and dance critic Donald Hutera, stage producer Graham Cowley and academic Prof Edith Hall chose it from 44 books about British theatre submitted by publishers, from which they had already announced a shortlist. The winner of the Theatre Book Prize, awarded annually by the Society for Theatre Research (STR), is Dark Star, Alan Strachan’s biography of actress Vivien Leigh, published by I B Tauris.
