Entertainment reporter at the Olivier Awards
Comer won best actress for Prima Facie, and said she was overwhelmed, praising the "complete sisterhood backstage - a constant network of support".The awards were held at London's Royal Albert Hall, where Totoro's wins also included best entertainment or comedy play - plus best director. She joked in her opening monologue she would "happily be mauled to death" by Comer in Killing Eve - in which the actress plays a lethal killer.Waddingham also used sign language to welcome former Strictly Come Dancing winner Rose Ayling-Ellis, who was nominated for best supporting actress for As You Like It.
He won for playing the toxic Stanley Kowalski in Streetcar, and was Oscar-nominated for playing the troubled Calum in Aftersun, after getting critical acclaim for playing sensitive Connell in TV drama Normal People. She researched the role by sitting in on court cases and speaking to barristers, judges and police offers who were "very honest" about how they had to "put aside their own feelings as a woman, to commit to the job that they do".
Its playwright Tom Morton-Smith dedicated their win to his stillborn daughter, saying his wife had been pregnant when he wrote the show.
