The Independent On Sunday magazine ran a full page interview and photo of Joseph today. Thanks to Joseph for letting us know. I scanned the article and have added the large version to the galleries.
He's been pals with Mitch for a very long time and he's engaged to Claire. Woody and Claire are getting married and he, Claire and Mitch have been a constant set of pals for years. Woody's not perfect, but when you first meet him you think he's the *nice guy*. However, the great thing about this drama is that by the end, all the characters have been on a massive journey, and you get to explore a different extreme of their personality. For example, when Woody feels as though his world has fallen apart, he doesnt react to it in a *nice* way at all. I feel like I went on a big journey with him, the writing is fantastic and we had a brilliant director.
Here is the second part of the interview! Interesting news about his new project!
Section C – Much Ado specific
Your portrayal of Benedick had the critics raving – how did you put together your take on such a well known character ?
We had a long rehearsal – maybe too long. I just played and explored each scene for itself, tried not to worry about the picture, the arc of the story too much. That’s for the audience to see. Stole as much as I could from other Benedicks !
You played Benedick for over six months – what did you do to keep the character fresh ?
Kept trying new things – within reason. Tuned in to the very different atmosphere that each audience brings every night. Concentrated on the other actors.
