The best theatre of 2011 - how was it for you?

Great to read Susannah Clapp's feature in yesterday's Observer on The Best Theatre of 2011, which started by saying:

"The Passion was the year's revelation. Ranging over the whole of Port Talbot, bringing people out in droves, rousing them to cheers and reducing them to tears, Wildworks' wonderful pageant took outdoor theatre to new heights. It proved the strength of National Theatre Wales, who move from place to place with no fixed base. It showed how the transcendent can be mapped on to the everyday. It revealed Michael Sheen, once Tony Blair and now Jesus Christ, as natural and commanding."

What were the productions that stood out for you, either in Wales or further afield?

Any surprises (good or bad)?

... and in yesterday's Telegraph, Dominic Cavendish also mentioned The Passion in his review of the year. "Once again, NTW proved an absolute godsend." Smiles all round in the office.
