Dharmesh Patel: ...One of my favourite moments, actually, just as a single moment was during our Press. So we had two Press [performances]: we had the matinée and the evening. During the matinée, during the Ceres scene, so Tika [Peucelle] comes down and then Sid [Sagar] is meant to come down and do his speech. And I don’t know if you heard about this, the wires weren’t working! So he didn’t come down for about 30 seconds. We looked at each other and it’s really easy to make me corpse on stage. It’s really terrible! I’ve got to learn how to deal with that. I’ve said that on record! And basically, Tim [McMullan] got up and started pfaffing and looking at the cameras and going, ‘So...so....’, looked up and went, ‘Right, that’s okay. That’s okay. Don’t worry. Don’t worry’. I just looked at Phoebe, just with this massive smile on my face. And Tim sat back down. I went (I don’t know why I said it), I just went, ‘Well it’s very exciting, isn’t it?’ And I don’t know why I said it! Because it was that moment of live theatre where you go, ‘We have no idea whether he’s going to come down’. And then you just heard this shout, coming down from the roof and he just started shouting his lines!

Rona Kelly: Oh, no!

DP: And then he started coming down. I was in floods of tears. It was amazing, it was amazing.

Rona Kelly: The supernatural elements, the godesses appearing, we have that in Cymbeline, we have it in all of the late plays. In this one we have Ceres and Iris.

Dharmesh Patel: And Juno, that's right.

RK: In the ceremony with you and Miranda. Have you got to that stage of the play yet?

DP: We have, yes, we've got to that stage and we started the dance as well, which is very exciting. And I don't want to give too much away, but it was the first time that myself, Tim [McMullan] and Phoebe [Pryce] who play Prospero and Miranda [respectively] watched it, we were in hysterics! Because it was very, very funny and there's certain actions that they do which just makes you giggle.
