The fight scene in Coriolanus is complex, and we have to ensure our bodies are limbered up and do a rehearsal for it every night. At about seven we do a mental warm-up. Most actors agree that you need to rid yourself of your \u2018day\u2019 before you perform, and I\u2019ve never been able to just walk on stage.

Coriolanus starts the play possessed of an immense anger and I have to put myself into the right mood. Sometimes, I\u2019ll listen to Holst\u2019s\u00a0<em>The Planets<\/em>, or run up and down the fire escape &#8211; and other days I\u2019ll already be there!
