back and work again with Ben Nealon, Gray O’Brien and Paul Lavers. All three actors are completely different, both in terms of onstage performances, and so different from the roles that they played in Catch Me If You Can. That's part of the bond of doing theatre; it is in the best possible sense, playing games with your friends.
WHAT ARE YOU MOST LOOKING FORWARD TO ABOUT THE TOUR OF TWELVE ANGRY MEN? The last performance! That’s not just because then you get to return home, but it is on that last performance that you realise all the things you should have done in the first 200 performances. In film work, you call it ‘freeway scenes’, where you've done this show, you're driving home at night on the freeway and you think to yourself “that's what I should have done”. And you have no more chance to do it with film and TV. At least in theatre every night, you get a chance to polish the art of the performance by honing it again and again, and at the end, it comes out shiny. But at the end, you wish you could have known what the end looked like a little sooner in the process! I'm looking forward to this process, more than anything else; not opening night, not closing night, but the continuation of the project.
WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE AUDIENCES TO TAKE AWAY FROM THE SHOW? I have this one line in the show which explains that it is so hard to separate prejudice from a situation, like in the play; of innocent or guilty, or opening your mind to thinking beyond what you believe. Everybody should question what they immediately believe. The most dangerous thing, in my opinion, in all of life, is to be so resolute in your knowledge that you don't accept the chance that there is something else, and that you might be mistaken. Or that you are maybe not even mistaken, but it just might better to be open to a different point of view, rather than a slightly askew way of looking at something you might not question. By being closed off, we inhibit so much possibility in our lives and create so much damage.
CAN YOU SUMMARISE TWELVE ANGRY MEN IN THREE WORDS? Think, compare, and compassion.
