2019 was a big year for the Laurence Olivier Awards, especially for Best Actress. That top honor went to the powerhouse who played Alma Winemiller in the 2018 West End revival of Summer and Smoke. If you missed that production, you seriously missed out. The play, originally by Tennessee Williams, dives deep into the messy, aching relationship between Alma, a preacher’s daughter with a wild, complicated soul, and John Buchanan, the bad-boy-next-door who’s never quite figured himself out. The revival got tons of buzz for breathing new life into these characters, with the actress embodying Alma’s nervous energy and fragile hope so perfectly, people in the cheap seats probably felt it in their bones. Critics went wild—like, standing ovations wild. The story’s all about longing, repression, and missed chances under the sweltering Southern sun. Basically, it’s a gut-punch of a performance in a play that’ll haunt you for days. No wonder she snagged the Olivier.
