I really enjoyed Children of Men. That kind of story told from a different perspective it could really be intriguing. BC keeps mentioning that SunnyMarch is going to do stories that don’t necessarily star him so this could be one that he has in mind when he says that.
:-))

“Watery beings who emerged from the sea, from the watery womb—will we ultimately return there and be submerged again?”
I love this quote b/c it reminds me of Third Star and James’ urgent need to get to Barafundle Bay, back to the water to be submerged in it as he dies. It was calling to him throughout the movie and I found that deep need of his very poignant.
I also liked this: “It’s the hope that incremental, individual change still means something.“
All these issues regarding climate change are so huge and overwhelming that I sometimes despair we’ll ever manage to get ahead of it. A few people give up plastic straws and yet we continue to allow corporations to pump thousands of pounds of toxic waste into our air, land and waters. It’s like trying to stop a runaway train by sending a toddler after it. But I tend to be cynical.
Lastly, I love the way she talks about art and her craft, and the considerations she brings to it. Very aware and complex. She and BC are so similar in many ways. 🥰

My favourite part (relating to Sophie) is when she is talking about how motherhood has impacted her life... "I’m slightly earlier on in the journey, but my experience so far has been nothing but incredibly rewarding and massively influential. It’s essential to have your child with you. It’s nonnegotiable; you have to fight that corner: if you want to employ me, as a mother, as a woman, then these things have to be in place. I remember a production I did of Phaedra, where I structured the day around feeds, and that was incredibly grounding for all of us. It put everything into perspective."
I love when someone is interviewed by a person who they know personally. Like when BC interviewed Tom Hiddleston or when Tom Yorke talked to BC. It has happened to my Dan a couple of times too when he was doing press for his books. Everything is so much more relaxed and often very conversational.
Same with this interview. The play Falling Out sounds absolutely fascinating. The mixture of Japanese and western forms is intriguing.
I can't wait for Sophie to be done with the adaptation of her sister in law's book. I figure this article came out in early November 2018, so perhaps she may be done soon (taking into account though that she had to birth a child as well recently). I see that another presentation of Falling Out is happening in April of this year in Washington D.C. - I think they said at the Kennedy Center.

She sounds very intelligent, and I admire that no mention was made of her famous husband.

Good to read that she seems very hands on with her kids. But I think she might find bringing three of them to work with her a bit of a problem. The phantom limb production sounds a bit too self consciously “arty” for me but to each their own.

I watched one of those shows and think it was quite interesting.
I'm more for artsy.
Once they made here a play based on Eleanor Rigby which was kind of experimental and awesome. A friend to whom I recommended it almost killed me. He hadn't understood anything. I stop being interested in him.

Thete’s a fine line between experimental/arty but enjoyable & experimental/arty & up its own bum self indulgence. The play described in the article coukd go either way. I would definitely be interested in seeing it to find out.

She didn’t say that she did it without any help! I’m sure they have several nannies/babysitters/personal assistants available at all times.
I remember my grandmother telling me that she moved in with my parents temporarily right after my sister was born. My mother was 21 and overwhelmed by this new baby who wouldn’t stop screaming - and my father wouldn’t have been much help because fathers weren’t very hands-on in those days.

Yes I’d say they have at least one nanny. They’d have to really with the amount of events and travel they do.
