‘The interesting thing about both Tolstoy and Dickens is the richness of description. With a play you just have the dialogue - I’m thinking of Pinter, or Beckett - you’re basically looking for subtext, because underneath the meaning of the things people say, are the things people mean. Sometimes they don’t say what they mean. Whereas with Tolstoy and Dickens you’ve got these long passages where both writers invite the reader into the mind of the protagonist or character. If you’re ever in a situation as an actor where there’s a book, it’s such a blessing. Because you can go to the book and look at all this interiority to sure up the exterior, which is what we have to present as actors.’
