HamletWHO IS WILSON BELCHAMBERS?
Hamlet

Wilson originally came in to read for a role of some three lines.   He ended up having to learn the largest actor’s role of all whilst at the same time performing on stage every night in the West End. 

What impressed the director most was how he could deliver the lines in a totally naturalistic way.  Take a look at the scene on the site “Denmark the Prison”; it looks like they’re improvising but in fact it’s texted Shakespearian script.


PoloniaWHO IS LYDIA PIECHOWIAK?
Polonia

“It’s not often you get to play the part of a doddering old man.  And even less likely that you get to play him as a scheming Machiavellian femme fatale. 

On the first day of shooting I got to seduce a woman I was about to strangle and then lie shot through the throat in a pool of blood.  Nice.”
