What is your favourite swear word?
The C word. These days, it’s hard to find an effective swear word that hasn’t been completely desensitised. The C word still works. It’s those consonants. Consonants get me hot.

What are you wearing?
Shorts and a t-shirt. It’d feel completely like summer if not for the hay fever. Hey, that’s the name of our play!

What is love?
Baby, don’t hurt me. I’m sure I’m the first to use that one? Haha, but seriously, don’t.

What was the last show you saw, and how many stars do you give it?
Fireface at ATYP for Under The Wharf. 4 out of 5 stars. Beautifully directed by Luke Rogers.

Is your new show going to be any good?
It’s going to be all kinds of good. I’m working with a talented and generous cast. Coward’s wit is a joy to play, but it’s also extraordinarily technical and relies on a perfectionist’s mind to deliver said wit. Fortunately for you, we’re all perfectionists.

David Halgren is starring in Hay Fever, by Noel Coward.
