Who do you know who has the ‘best’ voice – and qualify what your standards are for them being ‘best’
Sara Kestelman who I worked with recently in a production at Hampstead Theatre has a magnificent voice which resonated effortlessly in the space on stage, piercing through the soul without the need for volume/ shouting. She also happens to be an incredible actress.
What was the last habit that you took up and the last one that you’ve given up?
Taken up menthols. Given up coffee.
If the last three places you read about or watched became a travel itinerary, where would you go?
Pyongyang, Los Angeles, San Sebastián.
Similarly to ‘writers block’, have you ever experienced or heard of actors suffering from a ‘performers block’?
Yes and especially in theatre when you’re given the time to explore the character. Sometimes I find myself resorting to clichés that are untruthful and have to start over.
