Evening Standard Theatre Awards
It's been an outstanding year for Michael Grandage's , and this has been reflected in the Evening Standard Theatre Awards, announced this afternoon. Grandage was named best director for three plays: Othello, The Chalk Garden and Ivanov, while awards for Best Actress went to both Margaret Tyzack and Penelope Wilton (The Chalk Garden), and Chiwetel Ejiofor won Best Actor (Othello). My only complaint about the Donmar is that it always seems so difficult to get tickets - a symptom of their success, I suppose.

The Charles Wintour Award for most promising playwright is always one of the most interesting categories, as it highlights which theatres are introducing new voices. This year The Royal Court had produced the two runners up, while the winner was at the Young Vic. See a full list of winners at .
