“All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players.”- A Shakespearean phrase perfectly sums up the world as a theatre. Game of Thrones stars, Emilia Clarke (Daenerys Targaryen) and Indira Varma (Ellaria Sand), shared their theatre experience with Vogue.
Vogue presented the Game of Thrones alums with a host of questions. Here’s how they responded:
Vogue: What do you love the most about theatre?
Emilia: Oh my goodness! What I love most about going to the theatre… Never thought about it before, it’s the most beautiful experience.
Indira: It’s escape isn’t it?
Vogue: What is your most memorable moment in a theatre?
Emilia: I was doing Holly GoLightly in Breakfast at Tiffany’s and there was a stupid scene. I was in a bath and this one particular night I’m butt-naked, slippery from being in the bath. I’m running and I just psssssh (making slipping and landing on butt gesture with hands). I was feeling like I had broken something and then the guys in the flies just being like- “Oh! You alright sweetie?”
Indira: I mean my very first performance. When I was 5 at school and I was angel Gabriel.
Vogue: What is your top tip for learning lines?
Emilia: When I’m just by myself I do it to my cooker, my oven or I record myself or just badger friends.
Indira: My top tip for learning lines… (f*****g hate learning lines) I mean like I need tips myself. I think it’s about repetition.
Vogue: Sum up performing in theatre in 3 words.
Emilia: Um raw, electric and home.
Indira: One word is never enough is it, um journalized, communication, fear.
