Dan
spoke to The Evening Standard during this week's press open - a photo from which can be seen below - on taking a part in his first Shakespearean role.
Quote:
Daniel Radcliffe: “I’m keen to do a really good production of Shakespeare. My knowledge of Shakespeare is pretty limited, especially in this company.”
“I don’t want to fall into that thing that there are certain parts male actors should do — I never want to be feeling ‘Oh I want to do that role just so I can tick it off a list’. There has to be something about the role or production that feels that I can bring something to it that people won’t have seen with Hamlet.”
