Visceral, ferocious, brilliantly tender.
What was it about Ivo van Hove’s English language première of Hanya Yanagihara’s critically acclaimed prize-winning novel that made you want to be a part of the production?
Wow! All of the above, I guess.
You played Ana, tell us a little about the character and what you enjoyed most about the role?
I really enjoyed the challenge of finding detail and nuance in someone who exists primarily in Jude’s memory and imagination.
It was an intense play, how did you and the rest of the cast keep yourself on top form at every performance?
We laughed as much as we could. And we had the very best producers and technical team.
What’s your favourite memory from the run?
How adept we got at handling the unexpected.
How does it feel knowing this cinema release will open the production up to a wider audience?
Very exciting!
What was it like filming it?
To be honest, the crew were so brilliant and discreet, it mostly felt like any other performance.
What would you say to anyone thinking of booking to see A Little Life in the cinema?
Go for it! Strap in, stay hydrated and enjoy. (Is enjoy the right word?)
