BBC WORLDWIDE 11/17 JAMES NORTON Q: What Appealed to You BBC WORLDWIDE 11/17 JAMES NORTON Q: What appealed to you about this project? A: When we talk about the Mafia, it is so tied up with those portrayals which we're so used to in The Sopranos and The Godfather. But what's so lovely and fascinating and so relevant about this story is that it shows how the Mafia is a totally new phenomenon. Q: Tell us more. A: The Mafia is now a totally globalised corporate entity. It straddles all these different countries and financial systems. It is no longer just a protection racket. It's the Panama Papers, it's corrupt presidents and prime ministers, it's even in the possible link between the Kremlin and the White House and how that's facilitated. That was what was a real eye-opener for me, and I hope that's what the show will reveal. Q: Does McMafia show that crime pays? A: No, it’s more nuanced than that. The audience are taken on a journey into the world of crime through Alex’s eyes. It is fascinating, and it's kind of sexy and empowering because there is this whole underworld of people who don't abide by the rules and do what the hell they want - and it's exciting. You get seduced by it, but you're never quite sure how much you're being seduced. Q: Can you please amplify that? A: Alex convinces himself that it's about protection and it's about survival, but there's another side to it, and the beauty of Hossein's writing is that Alex and the audience are never quite sure. Each choice Alex makes - is it to do with survival or is it a bit more to do with the fact that he just wants to go deeper and deeper and gather more control and money? So, McMafia is brilliant because it’s never about villains and heroes - it's all about that wonderful mess in between. Q: Does that also contribute to the ambiguous portrait of Alex as an anti-hero? A: Yes. In the beginning, he doesn't have a choice, and you're left as an audience member going, 'OK, I totally understand he has to make that choice'. And then at a certain point you’re not sure, and you're going, 'Would I make that choice? Maybe my choice would be different'. And then later on you're going, 'How the hell did I end up here?' As an audience member, you're never quite sure where you stand. Q: Do we all have similarities with the outlook of these Mafiosi? A: Yes, these mobsters are all just like us - they're looking out for each other. Of course, they have a slightly warped version, and their moral compass is slightly different from ours, but their priorities are the same. They need to put food on the table, they need to survive. So what's great is that you're never really sure where your allegiance lies as an audience member. You're thrown all over the place. Q: All the same, doesn’t McMafia run the risk of glamorising criminals? A: No. What's great about the writing is that for every character who's living the high life, you also see the women being trafficked, the drugs going through Mumbai and 50,000 addicts who are suffering. So yes, there is a glamour to it, but equally it's always qualified by the cost. Q: Finally, what is it about the world of the gangster that remains so gripping to outsiders? A: We're all fascinated by this compelling world of the Mafia. It's that slightly subversive, dark underworld. We're all obsessed about it in various forms - in books, film, TV. Look at popularity of The Godfather. It's the anarchic quality of those people who live on the fringes of criminality which we all as law-abiding citizens find fascinating. JULIET RYLANCE Q: What first attracts Rebecca to Alex? A: There's always something attractive about a family that's as dynamic and different as Alex’s. His family is so different from anything that Rebecca's been around before. Q: What else? A: I think the biggest thing for Rebecca is the fact that she and Alex met at a major global bank. Rebecca has this huge desire to pursue ethical capitalism and wants to see whether there's actually a way that we can live more ethically in a capitalist society. Alex and Rebecca probably had a number of conversations about that and had similar views about wanting to do things differently. So one of the big, big driving attractions for her is that, when they meet, at the beginning of the story, he really makes a choice not to go down the same route as the family. I think the bravery and courage to do that is something that she really admires in him. Which obviously paves the way for some real drama as the story continues! Q: How much do we see Rebecca drawn into that world as the series goes on? A: I think Rebecca is unwittingly drawn in, and the big conflict for her throughout the story is: How much do you sacrifice what you believe in or put yourself in an area of potential danger for the sake of your relationship with the person you love? So, I think the biggest conflict for her is how much she puts herself first, or him first, or the relationship first. Q: As an actress, how do you make a morally upright person interesting? A: It's a little bit like joy and sorrow. You can't really experience sorrow unless you've experienced joy, and I think that it's the same with Rebecca. If there's a desire to be morally upright in some way, it's probably because you've been the other way at some point in your life, in however small or big a way. I think we all as human beings have that constant dilemma of: ‘What do I want for me and what's actually best for the family around me and the people around me, society, community?’ That's a push and pull that we all deal with on a daily basis. And that's something that Rebecca thinks about a lot. Q: Has the theme of the show changed the way that you see the world? A: Well, it's timely, isn't it, this show? I think we've become more and more aware of just how interconnected we are globally and financially, in terms of power and cyber terrorism and all those things that are going on at the moment in the political arena. I think the show really runs brilliantly alongside all of that, and it is pretty enlightening talking to Misha Glenny about the book and seeing these incredible stories in this piece. I had no idea about all the trafficking that Misha researched, and it's a bit mind-blowing. Q: Do you think the international appeal of McMafia comes from the fact that all countries essentially have similar problems? A: Yes, I do. I'm also fascinated to see how each country responds to our British take on their country, their society and the dynamic of where they're from. I think the director James Watkins has been really clever in fighting to cast as many real Russian and Israeli actors. I think that we're getting a real take on those cultures and the interactions of those cities. So I'm hoping that viewers everywhere will say, 'Oh, yeah, that feels like where I'm from'. FAYE MARSAY Q: Has Katya rejected her Russian roots? A: Yes. Katya feels more English than she does Russian, and she rebels against the Russian side. She's misunderstood and isn't really allowed to be herself. I think Katya's quite confused about where she fits into this family and the society she's been brought up in. Because she was three when she came over to the UK, I think she finds it hard to stick with the Russian traditions. She doesn't want to speak Russian at home, and she's kind of the black sheep of the family. So Katya's journey is about figuring out where she fits in within this kind of mad family and how she wants to identify. Q: You played a very physical character in Game of Thrones. Is Katya going to have some action sequences? F: No, she is completely different to any character I've done before. She’s very RP, very well spoken, very girly-girly, very strongly feminine. I usually play nutcases or punks or whatever, so it's been a challenge. Q: Tell us more. A: I'm from a working-class background, so it's nice to live in the shoes of that kind of world where there's money and I'm well-spoken and educated. It's been fun, you know. Not that I'm not educated! I definitely went to school! Q: Does Katya wear designer clothes? A: Yes, but I don't think it's like, 'I love clothes'. It's just how she was brought up. It's not like, 'I must have these shoes, I'm going to have a party'. She's not like that. She's quite vulnerable and quite broken, actually, a kind of insecure girl. The clothes are just because she's got the money.

Our Globe to Globe Hamlet tour travelled 193,000 miles before coming home for a final emotional performance in the Globe to mark the end, not just of this phenomenal worldwide journey, but the artistic handover from Dominic Dromgoole to Emma Rice. A memorable season of late Shakespeare plays in the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse and two outstanding Globe transfers in the West End ran concurrently with the last leg of the Globe to Globe Hamlet tour. On Shakespeare’s birthday, 23 April, we welcomed President Obama to the Globe.

  • The Father Production Notes 30 October 2020 *Amended*
    THE FATHER PRODUCTION NOTES 30 OCTOBER 2020 *AMENDED* INTRODUCTION THE FATHER is drawn from the stage play of the same name, which was written by Florian Zeller and launched in Paris in 2012, winning a Moliere Award for Best Play, before hitting Broadway and London’s West End, where it won both Tony and Olivier Awards for Best Actor (for Frank Langella and Kenneth Cranham respectively). Zeller directed the film adaptation - his feature debut - filmed in London, from a screenplay he co-wrote with Christopher Hampton (ATONEMENT, DANGEROUS LIAISONS). Alongside Oscar®-winners Anthony Hopkins and Olivia Colman, rounding out the film’s cast are Mark Gatiss (THE FAVOURITE, TV’s Sherlock), Imogen Poots (GREEN ROOM, A LONG WAY DOWN), Rufus Sewell (JUDY, TV’s The Man in the High Castle) and Olivia Williams (VICTORIA & ABDUL, AN EDUCATION). In THE FATHER, Hopkins plays the eponymous role of a mischievous and highly independent man who, as he ages, refuses all assistance from his daughter Anne (Olivia Colman). Yet, such help has become essential following Anne’s decision to move to Paris with her partner. As Anne’s father tries to make sense of his changing circumstances, he begins to doubt his loved ones, his own mind and even the fabric of his reality. THE FATHER is a Trademark Films, F Comme Film, Ciné-@, and Les Films du Cru co-production, produced by David Parfitt (MY WEEK WITH MARILYN, SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE), Jean-Louis Livi (READ MY LIPS, UN COEUR EN HIVER) and Philippe Carcassonne (COCO BEFORE CHANEL, RIDICULE). Also producing are financier Christophe Spadone for Les Films du Cru and the stage play’s London producer Simon Friend for SFE.
