Matthew Dunster on writing, directing and acting

INTERVIEW: MATTHEW DUNSTER

The playwright, director and actor talks to Philip Fisher about the return to the Young Vic of his 2008 play, You Can See the Hills (Royal Exchange, Manchester), and his Globe productions of Troilus and Cressida and Che Walker’s The Frontline (which also returns to the open air this summer).

I wanted to write about sex and violence, but it was really an emotional response to the way young people get written off.
