Nathaniel Martello-White on the Royal Court and Torn:
"I dismantled the entire play so I could ask myself what it was and what it wasn’t. I was left with about 25 pages of material that was the play and about 75 that I discarded, then I built it back up around those 25 pages. I’m glad I did that in hindsight."
"The biggest influence on me has been Tarell Alvin McCraney. I performed in one of his plays, The Brothers Size. There were three actors and that’s all."
"We created an entire universe in what was essentially a chalk circle. It showed me that theatre at its purest doesn’t need loads of props and set thrown in.If your dialogue is good enough and your story is strong enough, all you need is actors, their bodies, their voices and their emotions. That’s the most compelling kind of theatre for me."
