It was a big night in theatre at the Royal Albert Hall last night, as the very best of the West End all came together to celebrate each other across musicals and plays.<\/p>\n

Among those celebrating was Mark Gatiss, who was nominated for and subsequently won the Olivier Award<\/a> for Best Actor for The Motive and the Cue at the National Theatre.<\/p>\n

Prior to his win, RadioTimes.com<\/a> caught up with Gatiss, during which he discussed his favourite shows in theatre, admitting he missed out on David Tennant\u2019s performance as the titular character in Macbeth at the Donmar Warehouse.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cDear England [was] absolutely fantastic. I mean, I know nothing about football, but I knew they hadn\u2019t won. But I just thought it was a fantastic play.<\/p>\n

\u201cGuys and Dolls blew me away. I didn\u2019t see David\u2019s [Tennant] Macbeth [because it] was on stage the same time, but I hope that\u2019s coming back. So tonnes of brilliant stuff.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gatiss may be in luck, as Tennant previously teased that the production of Macbeth could be returning later this year.<\/p>\n

During Zoe Ball\u2019s Radio 2 Breakfast Show, Tennant said<\/a>: \u201cI think we might be doing another little run later in the year. I think I\u2019m at liberty to reveal that this morning.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe don\u2019t know the theatre yet\u2026 somewhere in London. It\u2019s just hot off the press. In the autumn, I think.\u201d<\/p>

The play received rave reviews during its run, and went on to receive five stars from The Guardian, The Telegraph and Financial Times. Tennant starred alongside Cush Jumbo, who portrayed Lady Macbeth in the production.<\/p>\n

Tennant was also nominated for Best Actor at the Oliviers alongside Gatiss, Andrew Scott, Joseph Fiennes and James Norton.<\/p>\n

Gatiss told RadioTimes.com<\/strong> it was \u201clovely\u201d to be at the Olivier Awards once more. \u201cIt\u2019s always nice to be honest, and very nice to be nominated.\u201d<\/p>\n
