29 April 2013

Winners have been announced of the 2013 Olivier Awards in association with MasterCard.

The National Theatre’s stage adaptation of Marc Haddon’s best-selling novel The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time has swept the board, winning a total of seven Oliviers, equalling the record set last year by another literary-inspired hit, the RSC’s musical version of Roald Dahl’s Matilda.

Other big winners on the night included Top Hat, Sweeney Todd and The Audience, for which Helen Mirren won Best Actress for her portrayal of Queen Elizabeth II – a role that previously won her an Oscar.
