Laurence Olivier Award
The Laurence Olivier Awards (or simply the Olivier Award) are presented annually by the Society of London Theatre to recognise excellence in professional theatre. Originally known as the Society of West End Theatre Awards, they were renamed in honour of the British actor Laurence Olivier in 1984.
The awards are given to those involved in West End shows and other leading non-commercial theatres based in London. The Olivier Awards are recognised internationally as the highest honour in British theatre, equivalent to Broadway's Tony Awards and France's Molière Award.
==History==
Commonly referred to simply as the ''Olivier Awards'', awards are presented annually across a range of categories covering plays, musicals, dance, opera and affiliate theatre. The majority of the awards are presented for the high profile commercial productions seen in the large theatres of London's West End, which is commonly known as ''Theatreland''.
The awards were first established in 1976 as ''The Society of West End Theatre Awards''. In 1984, the British actor Lord Olivier gave consent for the awards to be renamed in his honour and they became known as the ''Laurence Olivier Awards''. From 1976 to 1983, the awards were known as the S.W.E.T Awards and were designed by the artist Tom Merrifield.〔("Olivier Awards, History" ).
