INTERVIEW: ROGER REES

The Welsh actor, who has made his return to the London stage as Vladimir in Samuel Beckett’s Waiting for Godot (Haymarket) opposite Ian McKellen’s Estragon, talks about the role, his days at the RSC and his more recent work. Dominic Cavendish quizzes.

I think Vladimir gets very near the point of giving into the anarchy. He holds himself back but he knows it’s there and he’s changed forever.
