The "Samuel Beckett Prize" is correctly the "Oxford Samuel Beckett Theatre Trust Award". According to the trust's website, (http://www.osbttrust.com/award.html) the award is a grant "to help the development of emerging practitioners" and is awarded to an individual or group so they can devise and produce a play - not awarded for an existing production. The award comprises research and development grants, a production grant, a mentor, and in-kind support from the venue. In 2007, the grant was awarded to the Boilerroom theatre company. While it's true that Hunter was a member of the company at the time, it is blatantly incorrect to imply that she was the sole recipient. There is no specific mention of Hunter anywhere on the page for the 2007 winner, only Boileroom. (http://www.osbttrust.com/winner2007.html). With this in mind, I will be editing all mentions of this prize to accurately reflect that it was Hunter's company that won, not Hunter herself. I personally don't think the prize is important enough to warrant inclusion on the page, especially as it's framed as if it were some sort of major theatre award, but that's another can of worms.
Shoel Stadlen, the head of communications at Aldeburgh Music, was contacted regarding Hunter's participation in this year's Aldeburgh Festival and he has denied her involvement. This inquiry was made several weeks after the article claiming her involvement was published, so it is a more recent source. You can read his response to the inquiry here (http://41.media.tumblr.com/0c14ff461d9acb6270a7fb23390ca94e/tumblr_njvob1BZUE1u3ashto1_1280.png), and are free to make an inquiry of your own to confirm this.
I am also removing the claim that Hunter and Cumberbatch dated for a year prior to their engagement since I can find no credible source that supports this, and because it directly contradicts a December 2013 interview with GQ (http://www.gq-magazine.co.uk/entertainment/articles/2013-12/02/benedict-cumberbatch-gq-cover-sherlock/viewall) which implies that Cumberbatch is single and actively looking and a January 2014 interview with USA Today (http://www.usatoday.com/story/life/tv/2014/01/29/benedict-cumberbatch-talks-sherlock-film-stage-success/4838037/) in which he is stated to be single. Since no official source has spoken about the length of their courtship and unofficial sources cannot make up their mind about the timeline (with most tabloids and experts agreeing that they were only seeing one another for a few months prior to their engagement), I think it's wisest to omit any mention of the length entirely. The paragraph on their relationship reads just fine without it. [[User:Avianax|Avianax]] ([[User talk:Avianax|talk]]) 05:24, 19 February 2015 (UTC)
