Tiffany, who is currently working on Macbeth with Alan Cumming for the National Theatre of Scotland (NTS), won best direction for his work on an adaptation of the 2006 Irish film Once.

The show, about an unlikely romance between a Dublin street performer and a Czech piano player, picked up eight awards on the night, including best musical, best actor in a musical for Steve Kazee, and best orchestrations for its British musical supervisor Martin Lowe.
