It's a fascinating true story, in the character's own words.The actual interview with the Cockburns is online somewhere too. It's an extraordinary listen.
A recent interview with Tom for FAULT Magazine by Freya Hill, has just been shared on their website along with this photo by Jean-Claude Dhien. Read the full interview on the website - Tom discusses Arcadia, Monroe and My City.
I asked Riley what it was like reading the script for that production. “The way Stephen Poliakoff works is that he trades in mood, atmosphere and intensity. Reading the script, especially the first act, there’s a real feel of dread. I read an interview with Stephen where he actually said if it all works then he wants it to come across like a vivid dream. That’s something you get from us. That’s where a lot of the intensity comes from; everything in the play seems normal but like in a dream it’s a little bit off, things just aren’t quite right, but it carries on anyway.”
