‘And a year is a long time, and I know the older we get, the shorter they seem. But to do this play, every day, and to do it with such extraordinary people who are so committed to bringing it to life has really been an honour. Endings are interesting for me. I can’t quite organise this experience in my mind yet. And I know that over the coming days and weeks so many memories and images and feelings will come to the fore. But it has been extraordinary.

And I’ve already been speaking for too long! So just to say thank you, sincerely, from the bottom of my heart. And lets have a look at this [caricature]!’

Tom Hiddleston gives a brief exceedingly eloquent and heartfelt speech, thanking everyone involved in bringing Jamie Lloyd’s revival of Betrayal to Broadway before being presented with a portrait on the iconic Sardi’s Restaurant wall. New York City, 5th December 2019

‘Gothic Romance is, itself, a genre, as separate from horror. You know, I think horror is something that has evolved more recently as something that is explicitly about terrifying you, about giving you nightmares, about creating the scariest environment possible. And Gothic romance is more… when it came around in literature, it was the first time that anyone had explained the supernatural in terms of unprocessed emotional trauma. The idea that ghosts were emotions locked in time, that they were warnings about the past or future, and it’s always bound up with these two forces of love and death. And usually there is a young, innocent heroine who is drawn to a tall, dark stranger with a crumbling mansion and impelled into a very dangerous situation by her sexuality… At the time it was a very rebellious genre, people didn’t talk about sex and death in the same context. And so, that’s where Crimson Peak sits: it is squarely a love story, with ghosts in it.’
