I started writing in college. I had a great playwriting teacher who said ‘you should write’. It almost hadn’t occurred to me that that was something I could do. I was a theater fanatic when I was in high school and –– Wendy Wasserstein? Caryl Churchill? I could count on one hand the women I knew who wrote plays. Every great American playwright was a man. And so I just sort of were like, ‘they’re men, they’re probably smarter than me, I can’t do it’. And then someone was like ‘Why did you ever think that? You can totally do it.’ But I think if you don’t have examples, it’s very hard to imagine yourself doing it.

“I had my first scenes with the TARDIS the other day. In fact, I had an argument with the TARDIS. I fell through it. I had to bang on the doors, and the doors weren’t shut properly, so in front of all the crew I went flying through it. It’s on camera. I thought, ‘Oh my goodness, I’ve broken the Tardis, everyone’s going to hate me.’”

I’ve been listening to the My Own Shakespeare podcasts here and look who’s turned up! Had to share!
Musician Jools Holland chooses a passage from Henry IV Part 2 (Act 5 Scene 5) as the piece of Shakespeare which inspires him most. Performed by David Warner and John Heffernan.

Ohhhh yes dooooooooo! I found it a bit odd at times with slightly strange dialogue in places but John is SO GOOD and does a lot of sad eyes (yes, they’re so sad…
Haha I love that you can ‘hear’ his sad eyes! Ohh I really hope he does something in the theatre again soon! I’ve only seen him twice and missed so much
Ooh thanks for the link!
You caaaaannnn!
And me too, I’m so looking forward to Jonathan Strange but he just belongs on the stage, he’s sooooo amaaaaziiiiiiiiiiiiiiing <3
By the way, I have every intention of going and catching up on as much of his work that I missed (and rewatching the ones I didn’t ) as I can in the archives at some point, and you’re more than welcome to come with
I reckon there’s nine to be had in London alone so they should keep us going for a while :P

Ohhhh yes dooooooooo! I found it a bit odd at times with slightly strange dialogue in places but John is SO GOOD and does a lot of sad eyes (yes, they’re so sad you can feel how sad they are through the radio :P) and heavy breathing. A lot of heavy breathing. It also managed to make me stop pining for him on stage for a whole 45 minutes, so that’s quite something :P
Also I guess I may as well take this opportunity to post the iplayer link now it’s up
