THREEWEEKS EDITOR'S ANGEL
In addition to the main ThreeWeeks Editors' Award, we also chose the winner of one of The Argus Angels, the awards presented by Brighton's daily newspaper to the great and the good at the Brighton Festival and Fringe.

We awarded our own Angel to...
Stella Kassimati and Madeleine Grove for their show 'Psyche And Eros, The Archetypal Love Story'

Their show really impressed our reviewer, who gave it a straight 5/5 and said it deserved special mention for it's "incredibly skilled and engaging storytelling", adding that "Initially, I doubted whether they would be able to sustain the audience's attention for two hours, but they more than proved me wrong. It was simply excellent!". So, well done to Stella and Madeline, who were presented their Angel by ThreeWeeks editor Caro Moses over the rather damp last weekend of the festival
