In a recent interview, Hayley Atwell discussed preparing to play Beatrice in Much Ado About Nothing in London. Wearing her vibrant red platform dancing shoes during rehearsals, she finds the expressive choreography liberating. Atwell, known for her roles in various genres, from serious drama to action-packed Marvel films, feels that this comedic role allows her to showcase a funnier side that audiences may underestimate. The transition into more theatrical performances highlights her ability to adapt and thrive in diverse acting environments.
Actually no. The giddy freeness of it is more in keeping with who I am. It's certainly not like the period dramas I've done, or all the serious stuff.
After 20 years in the business, the actor who is 42 has proved herself a remarkable all-rounder, equally comfortable on the stage in a Jacobean tragedy... or dangling over a cliff in an upturned train carriage.
