| From a recent Q&A with questions from her peers: Iain Glen (Actor): You have always been so exceptional whenever you perform in the theatre, but they are quite rare outings for you. Why is that? Because of the rigorous schedule that it requires. It’s eight shows a week. And I’ve done it with children, but right now with teenagers? No, there’s just that thing of needing to be on. And as much as people say: “Doing a play, it’s just a performance at night and two shows on Wednesdays and Saturdays.” It actually isn’t. It’s a massive mind commitment, and that’s really tough. But absolutely, when it’s just Keith and I together [at home], that would be a different perspective on it. Sam Mendes (Director): I had the pleasure of watching you become a great stage actor during rehearsals for The Blue Room in 1998… What do you get out of performing on stage that you don’t get out of film and television? The immediacy. The absolute right-here, right-now immediacy, which is addictive. And I do think theatre is the future, partly because when things like AI are becoming so important, I actually think flesh and blood and seeing people and smelling them and watching their skin colour change, and the tears come out of their eyes – which is why I love small theatres – I think that’s going to become more and more powerful in the future. I hope it is. So that’s why I want to do more of it. And I think it’s incredibly important, the humanness of it. It’s deeply human, theatre. |
