New Interview With Keira From The Set Of “The Misanthrope”

The Times Online recently joined the cast of “The Misanthrope” on the set for an interview.

Damian Lewis: I knew the play and always loved it. It’s a fascinating theme. The targets have always been the same, since 1666: the hypocrisy and insincerity, the transience of the fashion-based world. It’s now the media-based world, but it’s instantly recognisable.

Keira Knightley: Ditto. [Everyone laughs.]

Could I maybe have a bit more?

Knightley: It made me giggle. That really was it. I’ve been sent things that were very serious, and I read this and thought, “How lovely, that really might be fun.” I’d just been to see quite a few tragedies in the theatre. You get that numb-bum feeling, and I thought, “Ooh, I don’t want to be part of a numb-bum show.” I’d done a lot of serious dramas on film, and I fancied doing something that might actually make people giggle.
