Actors Catherine Zeta Jones and Douglas Hodge, and
playwright Sir Alan Ayckbourn won Tony Awards in New York on a strong night for
British talent.

Zeta Jones, 40, won best actress in a musical for A
Little Night Music while Hodge, 50, won the equivalent actor award for La Cage
Aux Folles.

John Logan's Red, produced by London's Donmar
Warehouse, was the night's big winner with six including best play.

Denzel Washington and Scarlett Johansson were also
among the winners.

Sir Alan, 71, who won the play revival Tony for The
Norman Conquests last year, was given the lifetime achievement prize at the
Broadway awards.

Amorous actress

Red - a two-man drama about artist Mark Rothko
starring British actor Alfred Molina - came out on top with six awards,
including best play and best director for the Donmar's artistic director
Michael Grandage.

The play, which first appeared in the West End in
December 2009, transferred to Broadway in March.

Red's Eddie Redmayne won best supporting actor
in a play but Molina lost out on the best actor prize to Washington, who won
for his performance in the revival of August Wilson drama Fences.
