The Sam Wanamaker Award or Sam Wanamaker Prize is an award established in 1994 for pioneering work in
Shakespearean theatre, usually given to individuals who have worked closely with
Shakespeare's Globe or the
Royal Shakespeare Company; the award is not specific to artistic contribution, and has frequently been granted to businessmen and academics. It is one of the two current British awards for classical theatre, alongside the
Ian Charleson Award. It is presented by Shakespeare's Globe and named after
Sam Wanamaker, the theatre's founder.
