Tom discusses his role in Waiting for Godot and how the play in all its elusiveness still today attracts audiences from far and wide. Considering the fact that nothing happens we talk about how the play can be interpreted in so many different ways. How each audience took something different from it than the other and how it’s ambiguity makes it one of the most celebrated plays of all time.
As well as his brilliantly chaotic performance as the waiter, “Alfie”, in the original cast of the hit show One Man, Two Guvnors led by James Corden. Tom talks about how they staged “Alfie’s” helter-skelter actions from being hit by cricket bat to falling down a flight of stairs.
All this and much more in this one, thank you Tom!
