Rachel Weisz came up trumps in the thespian stakes by winning the “Natascha Richardson Award for Best Actress” at the Evening Standard Theatre Awards 2009 held at the Royal Opera House in London. The award was won for her theatre performance in “A Streetcar Named Desire”. Rachel was unable to attend the event – most recent photo below!

Rachel Weisz plays the character Blanche Dubois which is a notoriously difficult part to play and has tripped up many actresses in the past. She won the award for her ability to faithfully play the difficult character and also her ability to ditch her traditional glamorous Hollywood style whilst on stage.

Sir Ian McKellan stole the show though, famous for his role as Gandalf in the L.O.R Trilogy, he picked up the Lebeden Special Award and Lenny Henry picked up the Milton Shuman Award for Outstanding Newcomer for his role in Othello.
