Question: One of the things I'd be very interested to know is how you approach text, or a design assignment, when you first, when it's first given to you. Answer: Nervously, and that applies to any text, I mean whether or not it's Shakespeare, a classic, a contemporary piece, it's basically an insecurity about whether I've read it correctly, and the thing I've come to, come to sort of some kind of understanding about is that you can't read it incorrectly, particularly Shakespeare. It's a very bizarre thing, now IÕ?m not sure I should tell you this but the, one of the great ironies for me, from where I stand, was watching directors, watching directors work on Shakespeare. And there are some fantastic directors, incredible, I mean Trevor's masterful, particularly with Shakespeare, John Barton, Terry Hands, on and on and on, and the one thing I've come to terms is that not one of them can agree amongst themselves, what is a good Shakespeare production So it's an, you know, it's an illuminating insight when you think all these minds are at work who are tremendous at what they do but they cannot agree in any kind of special way that that's the definitive production, they are constantly revisited, minds revisit those productions, those, that language. And so what I kind of discovered was you just enjoy it, you just kind of go with it and whatever comes off the page, and whatever you're feeling at that moment, you have to have the courage to go with it and not, you know I don't particularly over analyse anything, maybe I do in an abstract way but it's different to, I don't do it in a literal way. |
