Best Actress in a Play:

Best Supporting Actor in a Play:

Best Play Revival:

*******************************************************************************************

So, all 3 actors are up for awards, as well as the play itself for best revival (they’ve obviously put Charlie in supporting actor category so as not to split the vote, even though realistically all three have equal roles in the play.)

(Jamie Lloyd misses out on a nomination for his direction of Betrayal, but is nominated for his direction of Evita).

Voting for the winners is open now (until 27th January 2020)

And if that’s not enough incentive, Tom had this to say, back in 2015 when Coriolanus won Best Play Revival:

We are excited to announce the winners for the 2019 Broadway UK Awards! As voted for by the public, the awards celebrate the best long-running West End productions and best new productions from around the country.

Thank you to everyone who voted, and huge congratulations to our fantastic winners!

Best Actor in a New Production of a Play: Tom Hiddleston - BETRAYAL - Harold Pinter Theatre

Betrayal director Jamie Lloyd said that the price of tickets is one of the most important factors in diversifying theatre audiences.

Speaking on the red carpet at the 65th Evening Standard Theatre Awards, Lloyd said: “We’re trying to diversify, to change the demographic of the audience in our corner of the West End, and that, obviously, is about ticket prices as much as anything else. And I hope that other companies and other producers continue to do that.”

Lloyd, who is in the running for the Milton Shulman Award for Best Director for his revival of Harold Pinter’s love triangle drama, said that diversity of work is what makes the London theatre scene so special:

“You’ve got different artists from all kinds of backgrounds making work that speaks to them for a wide variety of audiences. I think it’s just really important that we keep doing that: finding diverse stories and working with a really brilliant mix of people from all backgrounds, all walks of life and all skill sets. And hopefully, that will reflect itself in the audience.”

He said working with stars Charlie Cox,  Zawe Ashton and Tom Hiddleston on Betrayal has been “one of the most amazing experiences of my career”.

He is up against Robert Icke (The Doctor & The Wild Duck) and Marianne Elliott & Miranda Cromwell (Death of a Salesman).

Hiddleston is also up for an award for Best Actor in partnership with Ambassador Theatre Group.
