Ruth Wilson, Stereophonic and 4.48 Psychosis

Star of His Dark Materials, Luther and so much other stuff, the incredible Ruth Wilson, talks to Nick Curtis about starring in a very little-revived Eugene O'Neill play A Moon For the Misbegotten. She also talks faith, creativity and roles for older women.

Nancy is very excited because the show she saw and adored on Broadway, Stereophonic, has just transferred to the West End. For legal reasons it is very much NOT about Fleetwood Mac making Rumours...but the band members are packing up, shacking up and falling out - it's written by David Adjmi with songs by Arcade Fire's Will Butler.

And 25 years after its original production, Sarah Kane's play 4.48 Psychosis is being revived at the Royal Court in London in exactly the same space, with the same director and cast.
