Go inside the 2019 Evening Standard Awards.
If all the world’s a stage, does the reverse apply? In the traditionally exclusive milieu of London theater—for decades overwhelmingly privileged and white—what audiences see on the stage has not always fully reflected the world beyond it. At last night’sTheatre Awards, however, an eclectic and diverse audience saw a cast of presenters, nominees, and winners who together comprised an ensemble emblematic of progress, positivity, and pluralism.
London is the greatest theater capital of all, in terms of both depth of history and consistency in innovation. Yet at last night’s awards, cohosted byproprietor Evgeny Lebedev and Anna Wintour, one of the most rapturously applauded winners was a Brooklyn import. Double Pulitzer winner Lynn Nottage added the Chanel-sponsoredbest-play award to her roster of accolades thanks to the Lynette Linton–directed Donmar Warehouse production of.
From the start, master of ceremonies Cush Jumbo had us laughing, but also made a serious point when she observed that last night she became the first person of color to host these awards in its 64-year history. More positively, presenting the Charles Wintour Award for most-promising playwright, the super-producer Sonia Friedman noted, “In [the last] 10 years, nine women have won this award.” The run continued when Friedman announced Jasmine Lee-Jones as this year’s winner for her produced play.
Key moments of clarity that followed included the audience’s passionate applause for Sir Ian McKellen’s rousing and often microphone-free clarion call for the revival of touring theater as he accepted the editor’s award. Equally effusive approval marked the acceptance of the Lebedev award on behalf of Peter Brook by his daughter Irina, from Glenda Jackson.
