Felicity on Russell Brand & The Tempest

on Russell Brand (who plays Trinculo in The Tempest): "He is completely insane but he is great. We did one day together and, as ever, he entertained everyone - I am sure he must be exhausted when he gets home because he is very funny."

on The Tempest: "The main change is that obviously Prospero is now Prospera who is a woman. It does sort of change some of the themes in a way because obviously it shifts the characterisation a little that it's the relationship between the mother and the daughter and obviously it does make a difference when it's not the father and the daughter. But essentially it is very faithful to Shakespeare's text." (This is Bristol.)
