Roger Allamin Independent-haastattelu

Roger Allam jutustaa Shakespeareasta ja muusta, mutta ei muista vanhoja asioita lainkaan :-) Ihana haastattelu ihanasta miehestä 7.4. sunnuntain Independent-lehdessä! Globe-teatterin The Tempest harjoitukset kovasti vauhdissa, maltan tuskin odottaa 10.6. kun nään sen livenä.

He does, however, recall the last time he played the Globe: his turn as Falstaff won him an Olivier best actor award. "The only way is down," he deadpans about his prospects as Prospero. Falstaff was also his first role at the Globe, essentially because he shunned the theatre when it re-opened in 1997. "I was always rather against the Globe really," he confesses, blaming his affinity with the RSC, which collectively saw the South Bank upstart as a pretender to the Bard's great crown. "The words 'thatched-cottage Shakespeare' were bandied around," he admits sheepishly.
