Andrew Scott has been named best actor at the Critics’ Circle theatre awards for playing every role in Chekhov’s Uncle Vanya, adapted by Simon Stephens. In February, the star won best actor at the Critics’ Circle film awards for his performance in Andrew Haigh’s film All of Us Strangers. It is the first time both awards have been won by the same actor in the same year.
The Fleabag star took all eight roles in the solo show Vanya, which ran at the Duke of York’s theatre in London, directed by Sam Yates, and was released in cinemas last month. Scott previously picked up the best actor award for Present Laughter at the 2019 awards and the best Shakespearean performance award for Hamlet in 2017.
