The first edition of Europe Theatre Prize took place in 1987. It is among the most reputable events in theatre at which prizes are awarded for a lifetime contribution to theatre. The prizes have been awarded to prominent theatre directors and actors, choreographers and dramatists. The prize is not awarded annually; up until 2016, there have been fifteen prize-giving ceremonies hosted by a number of European cities. Since 1990, in addition to the main prize, the Europe Prize New Theatrical Realities has been awarded to the younger generation (at the most recent 2016 edition, the word “new“ has been omitted). To date, the prize has been awarded thirteen times. The study presents a concise overview of the Europe theatre prize winners and the details of individual editions.
