Hey! Vielleicht bin ich die letzte die es mitbekommen hat, aber Samuel und Timothy West treten am 21.3. in Köln in der Philharmonie auf (mit Orchester und einem musikalischen Stück von Max Frisch). Ich weiß nicht wie viele deutsche ACGAS Fans es gibt, aber ich dachte vielleicht kann man das mal teilen. Tickets kosten 34€ und sind auch noch einige da. :) Liebe Grüße!

Hey! Ich hab schon seit dem ersten Tag des VVK einer Karte dafür 😏. Timothy ist ja "nur" auf Video und Sam live auf der Bühne.

Ich teils mal: "Book of Water" am 21.3. in Köln!

Charlie Cox Interview（Broadway.com in London）

April 14, 2008

Charlie Cox could be forgiven for choosing the allure of Hollywood over the daily grind of the West End. It's both bracing and somewhat surprising, then, to find the 25-year-old star of the fantasy adventure film, Stardust, not to mention the Al Pacino Merchant of Venice and Heath Ledger vehicle Casanova before that, on stage at the Comedy Theatre in a Harold Pinter double bill, The Lover and The Collection. 

It’s Cox's second-ever professional stage gig following a Southwark Playhouse production three years ago of Tis Pity She's A Whore. In the first of the two Pinters, both dating to the early 1960s, Cox makes a cameo appearance as a milkman suggestively delivering cream to the home of the adulterous (or is she really?) Gina McKee. But it's The Collection that tests the young actor's chops, playing both the boy toy of older gent Timothy West as well as a possible bedmate of McKee's Stella. (The truth, as so often in Pinter, is teasingly elusive.)

 The supremely open and affable Cox chatted to Broadway.com one recent Saturday before that day's two shows about his West End debut, fielding those famous Pinter pauses, and why the fame that surely awaits him is also in some way terrifying.

So, here you are nearing the final stretch of a four-month West End run when surely the demand for you to stick with movies must be intense.

I suppose, and there is a way in which this was the first real decision that I had to make, since I was offered a film at the same time as this play. But the truth of the matter is, when you start out acting, you take any job you can get. A lot of young actors nowadays are being forced into film and into fame, and they're not any better than when they started. And I've always thought the best possible scenario for my life and my career is longevity, and the theater has to be part of that.

But don't agents go, "You can't give over 16 weeks to lesser-known Pinter when you could be doing movies?"

It depends on who the agent is. My agent in England [Lindy King] is incredibly understanding. There is no such thing as "can" or "can't." She sees the bigger picture. I mean, obviously, she will advise me as to what she thinks is best for my career, but that's precisely why this appealed to me so much. I hope to do much more theater. I love it. I've had a fabulous time all the way through.

When you did Tis Pity at the Southwark Playhouse in 2005, that was only a three-week run. How have you found the eight-show-a-week routine over the past few months?

It's interesting: After rehearsals, a lot of the work is done, and you don't have to come into work and face new challenges as you often do on a film. I'm finding that when you do a long run, you have to go places you've never been before to keep the material fresh, and that's working with some very seasoned actors in both film and theater: Timothy West, Gina McKee... I will go through a period of four or five days when I feel I can't deliver, but then something happens that brings you out of any possible rut. It's about finding new ways of being able to hear it each night.

I'm sure the fact that it's Pinter is a major plus.

Yes, especially that it's Pinter. The words he uses are so precise and so brilliant and so perfect for their placement within a script that when we first started, I thought, I can't do this without a dictionary.

What about those celebrated Pinter pauses? Are they tricky to navigate?

Well, we have to remember that Pinter was an actor first and foremost, and he is there to help the actor in his writing. There's become this belief that you have to tap out the pauses, but he'll openly admit that is absolute bollocks. With Harold, the punctuation is even more important than the pauses and the silences.

Did Pinter come to rehearsals?

He came on three different occasions, and I was kind of all right with it. Gina and Rich were really, really scared. He had very, very few notes: he gave me some areas where I could slow down a bit.

It must be fun priming yourself for the intrigue of The Collection with your brief encounter with Gina in The Lover.

The two plays do work surprisingly well together in that Harold's characters tend to do battle with the same power struggle. But let's be honest: the milkman could be done by anyone; it's kind of embarrassing, actually. What happened was that Jamie [the plays' director, Jamie Lloyd] gave me the script and said that there's a small character in The Lover who's normally played by the person who plays Bill in The Collection: that made a lot of sense to me.

You began in theater with a Jacobean writer, John Ford. Do you see any Shakespeare in your stage future, especially having appeared with Al Pacino on screen in The Merchant of Venice?

I'd love to, though I don't find it very easy. I know there are some people who find that doing Shakespeare is just like chatting but I'm much more comfortable doing something more modern. I don't feel natural when playing royal monarchs [Laughs.]

You worked with the late Heath Ledger on Casanova and his awful death must prompt all sorts of questions about the price of fame.

God yes, though you'd never have encountered anyone genuinely kinder or less driven by ego than Heath. But I can honestly tell you that I never got into [this profession] for money or anything like that. Fame terrifies me to my very soul, I just fucking hate it. It makes me incredibly anxious.

You've clearly got a genuine sense of perspective, so I'm sure you'll deal with it just fine. What's next, once the play ends?

I've got a month off and then I'm off to Los Angeles to do another movie with Al Pacino, who this time is playing my dad, who is being taken off life support. It's called Lullaby, and the whole thing takes place in a hospital room; it's a dark comedy, actually.

Inside no. 9 - Sardines [ep 1 s1] - 2014

[avengersome]

So I was wondering how the ACGAS writers are going to play it now Tris has gone to war. How is he going to be kept in the show? I mean letters are great but they’re surely going to keep him in more than that, and it would be a shame to lose the wonderful chemistry Callum Woodhouse has with the rest of the cast.

I still haven’t worked it out, but what I’ve decided I do need them to do is have Siegfried thinking back to when they were younger, and in said flashbacks their father needs to be played by Timothy West (I don’t know that Prunella Scales would be able to play the part of their mother, given her dementia, but if she was I’d want that too).

Synopsis from the website:

The Book of Water, based on Max Frisch's novella Man Performs in the Holocene, it rains constantly. The main character Geiser becomes increasingly isolated from the outside world due to the persistent rain and floods. Not only his environment succumbs to the downpours that ravage the landscape, his memory is also crumbling. In Van der Aa's new musical theater production for actor, string quartet and film, the characters in the video respond to the physically present actor and musicians and vice versa, creating an interaction with the mise-en-scene on stage.
