Getting into the Character: Thomas Cromwell in Wolf Hall

Ben Miles, who plays Thomas Cromwell in the Royal Shakespeare Company’s Wolf Hall, talks about how the interiors at Hampton Court Palace helped getting into the character of Thomas Cromwell.

Ben is so right about Hampton Court Palace. It is as close to the characters as you can get. Hats of to him for his version of Thomas Cromwell. I visited the palace last summer (again), and it felt a bit surreal to know that I was walking in the footsteps of so many people we know about from the history books.
