Thank you Craig. And GREAT to see footage from the film spliced in-between questions! Looks like the play translated seamlessly from stage to screen.

Also, good of Michael to have asked immediately the importance of the quinessential Alan Bennett and his role in English theatre writing. Got to get that at the fore-front of the interview.

Was this interview done recently? In the UK?

Gosh, Richard Griffiths is on fire. Does that man ever rest? From London "History Boys" to Broadway to the film, plus the short break he took from the Broadhurst to film "Harry Potter" and now into "Equus"! Marvelous man.

Anxious to see this film, if not for the great actors, but for that great soundtrack! I'm cautiously-hopeful it will catch some American audiences.
