When Sarah Snook took to the stage in London this week to accept a coveted Olivier Award for best actress, five fellow NIDA graduates who worked on the same production – including director Kip Williams – were cheering her along.

One of them, Marg Horwell, also walked away with an award for her role as costume designer on the smash hit The Picture of Dorian Gray, which took Sydney by storm and is now doing the same in London’s West End.
