The National Theatre picked up more than half of the honours at yesterday’s Critics’ Circle Theatre Awards - winning in five out of nine categories for its productions including ‘Best New Play’ for Richard Bean’s hilarious comedy One Man, Two Guvnors and ‘Best Musical’ for Alecky Blythe’s gritty tale of the infamous Ipswich murders, London Road. Danny Boyle’s Frankenstein won in two categories, with Benedict Cumberbatch named ‘Best Actor’ (for a role he shared with Jonny Lee Miller) and Mark Tildesley awarded ‘Best Designer’. Mike Leigh won ‘Best Director’ for Grief. |
Wins for Sheridan Smith and Eddie RedmayneElsewhere, Eddie Redmayne picked up ‘Best Shakespearean Performance’ for Richard II at the Donmar Warehouse; Sheridan Smith won ‘Best Actress’ for Flare Path at the Theatre Royal Haymarket and Tom Wells was named ‘Most Promising Playwright’ for The Kitchen Sink at the Bush Theatre. The award for ‘Most Promising Newcomer’ went to Blanche McIntyre for Accolade & Foxfinder at the Finborough Theatre. Many of those honoured will now be favourites to win further prizes when the WhatsonStage Awards and Laurence Olivier Awards are held in the coming months. |
