Andrew Scott, David Tennant, Sophie Okonedo Win Acting Prizes at U.K. Critics’ Circle Theatre Awards
Andrew Scott, David Tennant and Sophie Okonedo took home the acting prizes at the 33rd U.K. Critics’ Circle Theatre Awards.
Sophie Okonedo won best actress for her role as the titular character in @sohoplace’s “Medea.” The Trewin Award for best Shakespearean performance went to David Tennant for his turn in the Donmar Warehouse’s staging of “Macbeth.” The award for most promising playwright went jointly to Marcelo dos Santos (“Backstairs Billy”) and Matilda Feyiṣayọ Ibini, whose coming-of-age play “Sleepova” saw 2021 BAFTA Rising Star winner Bukky Bakray make her stage debut at the Bush Theatre. The Sam Mendes-directed production stars Johnny Flynn as Burton and Mark Gatiss as Gielgud, and enjoyed an acclaimed run at the National Theatre before it transferred to the West End late last year.
