Answer: Well one of my favourite was The Tempest, Cheek by Jowl's Tempest, which was generally disliked by the critics. But I still think it was quite a remarkable piece of work and it is one of my favourites, in terms of design. Question: It was rather unusual wasn't it? Answer: Yes, we took a very strong line on the play, which was in a sense, was a story of a theatre director's mental crisis as it were. It was, as it were, Prospero was a theatre director quite specifically. And so the whole thing was realised in terms of theatre. Whenever you read critics you think they're writing about the last production of any particular piece, but I think any play should be subject to strong interpretation, I mean, you know, it still exists afterwards doesn't it, I mean lets face it, as a text. |
