About Alina Tschumakow
Olivier Bound is a one-man contemporary theatre show by Alina Tschumakow following a young theatre-industry assistant through a hectic day of counting ballots for the coveted Olivier Awards. When confronted with deciding who is worthy of a vote, the assistant must weigh industry power, personal integrity and the nature of recognition itself. The show explores award shows, the live audience's role in an age of disconnectedness, and questions of cultural value. It runs for 35 minutes at the Stephenson Theatre and is suitable for audiences aged 12 and over.
Why see this show?
A brisk and clever one-man show that uses the backstage world of awards ceremonies to ask bigger questions about what — and who — we choose to celebrate. At 35 minutes, it is a sharp, focused piece with something genuinely interesting to say.
