Who we are
Our Team
David Graham is a retired businessman and active philanthropist. Based in London and Edinburgh, he is a Fringe angel and festival fan – enjoying 75 shows in 2017.
That year, one play in particular caught David off guard and captured his imagination – Adam challenged him and changed his opinions. David was struck at that moment to do something, but there was no obvious route for action. This award and initiative is the result of that experience.
Robert Iles is the co-founder of UK Theatre Web, the UK's oldest theatre website and largest performing arts archive and provides a range of data services to a number of large arts companies.
Robert has been involved with amateur and fringe theatre for over 30 years including competitive drama as actor, backstage, playwright and director. Robert is a regular theatre critic in and around Bristol, London and at the Edinburgh Fringe.
