JS I’ll never forget this. I didn’t know Lia, but I was once in a play at the Royal Court, and Lia came and wrote me the most amazing, generous and insightful letter, which I’ll keep for ever. Then I saw her in Oresteia, which blew me away completely. I went round to her dressing room and Rob walked in. LW We instantly had a vibe, and Rob must have seen it.

How did rehearsals work? JS Heads. You go — I’m going to overrule the coin! LW We have always had two separate rehearsals. It’s been crucial to the creative process. Rob has encouraged us to have freedom to interpret in our own individual way, because otherwise you’re copying. People who have seen both ways round have said it’s like two different productions. Because we trust and like each other, we pool crucial information all the time, but it’s still going to be different. JS To their massive credit, I never got the impression that the other actors had already rehearsed the same scene with Lia. LW Part of their brilliance, and what they love, too, is that it also affects their performances. It keeps the production alive. JS Usually you have the Tannoy on in the dressing room, so you listen to the show when you’re off stage. We shared a dressing room at the Almeida, but never had the Tannoy on. So I really don’t know how she plays Elizabeth and Mary. We share process, but not product.

Does the play feel different post-Weinstein? LW Heads. [It’s tails.] JS It’s a potentially incredibly exciting moment in gender history. It’s forced questions out into the open — what does sexual power mean for women, and for men? It has to be a conversation with breadth and depth that doesn’t shrink to individuals. In this play, it’s very interesting that the one area of real frailty that both queens possess is their terror about the other as a woman. Elizabeth’s Achilles heel is the thought that Mary is more sexually desirable to men, even though she’s been locked up for 18 years. That’s the core of Elizabeth’s vulnerability. That’s why she kills Mary. It undoes her. It’s a great question to end on, because if ever there was a situation that was conducive to competition or suspicion, it’s ours. We want to send the message that there’s so much joy in collaboration and so little in competition. Let’s change the culture! c
