Modern Daenerys Targaryen ♕ 1/∞

The Seagull adapts Chekov’s 1985 play into modern-day, performed by the Jamie Lloyd Company, and follows the story of a young woman who is desperate for fame and a way out, a young man who is pining after the woman of his dreams, a successful writer longing for a sense of achievement, and an actress who wants to fight the changing of the times. In an isolated home in the countryside where dreams are in tatters, hopes dashed, hearts broken and there is nowhere left to turn, the only option is to turn on each other.  “I am over the moon to be playing Nina in Jamie Lloyd’s interpretation of The Seagull. I’ve long been a fan of the singular vision he brings to each of his masterful productions and the way he approaches classical texts. We are so lucky to be working with Anya’s brilliant adaptation, as she brings a light touch of modernity to this beautifully crafted play. I cannot wait to get stuck in with these two visionaries.” —Emilia Clarke

Emilia Clarke talks Game of Throne ending and Last Christmas

The response to the final episodes of Game Of Thrones was overwhelmingly negative. With some distance, how do you feel about that reaction?

I was too busy focusing on my own reactions to really pay too much attention, if any at all. The only thing I felt truthfully sad about was that [executive producers] David [Benioff] and Dan [Weiss] are my really good friends, and so it’s for them that I feel heartbreak, because it’s theirs.

But there were certainly people who claimed they felt cheated by the ending...

Everyone is going to have their own opinion and they’re fully entitled to them. It’s art and it’s to be dissected and taken on in whatever individual way you wish.

And if you’re sad that the show is done and you’re sad because you enjoyed watching it, then that’s sad. It sucks this wasn’t the perfect ending that people were hoping for, but I truly believe we would never have made everyone happy.

After you finished Game Of Thrones, did you feel a sense of freedom?

Absolutely. It really was the greatest moment of my life, but there is an absolute freedom that Thrones has given me — a gift-wrapped present in a little bow saying, “You’re now financially secure enough to not have to panic, so what do you want to do?”

That kind of freedom is wonderful. I could never see it during the time I was filming, because I was too close to it.

The film [Last Christmas] really shows off London at Christmas, which is very different to what we see here in Australia.

I’m used to the magic and allure of London at Christmas — they kind of take it to the next level there, and our amazing set designers added enormous amounts of fairy lights to every scene. We knew where we were going to be filming before we got anywhere close because I could see the lights from a mile away.

What was it like working with Emma Thompson?

She’s just inherently got this maternal side to her; every individual person on set feels heard, seen, protected and loved. I can very confidently say it was my favourite filming experience I’ve ever had, and she was a massive part of that.

The film celebrates diversity and also tackles the subject of Brexit.

You can’t talk about England without talking about Brexit right now. If we’re going to give you a little love letter to London, then the truth is that London has diversity — it is an incredible hotpot of third or fourth generations of people who have come here and stayed true to their cultures and heritages and celebrated that. We believe that adds to the joy of London.
