What's the best Shakespeare performance you've seen?
Probably director Robert Icke’s "Hamlet" at the Almeida (in 2017). It was like watching a brand new play, and Andrew Scott was outstanding in the title role.
Did you have any experience with Timon of Athens before this project?
MAKING-OF [ Cast - Interviews ] - PODCAST - James Reynard - Role: Timon of Athens - MISANTHROPOS
Adapted by Maximianno Cobra, from Shakespeare's "Timon of Athens", the film exposes the timeless challenge of social hypocrisy, disillusion and annihilation against the poetics of friendship, love, and beauty.
What's the best
Shakespeare production you've ever seen?
While I was at school, I saw a production of "Hamlet" at the Birmingham
Rep. It was just really cleverly staged, with lights coming up through
the floor instead of walls, so the ghost literally walked through the
walls of the castle, which was really exciting. I was doing my A-levels
and studying the play at the time, and I had no idea that that sort of
surprise was coming. It made me realise how amazing and magical theatre
could be, and set me on this road to a love of Shakespeare.
You're one of the only
cast members who's done Shakespeare on film before. How does acting
Shakespeare on stage differ to what we have to do on film?
