Artspass Interview

Artspass' Richard A. Humphrey interviews Roger on their website, which you can watch on-line. It lasts almost 23 minutes and in it Roger talks mainly about his work with the Collegiate Chorale. He talks about the relationship between words and music at some length, about Shakespeare and Verdi.

Roger explains that he feels very musical, that he plays the piano and that verse-reading is music in a way. He also talks about the way performances and productions come together.

He mentions young women saying to him at the stage door: "My mother loves your work". He also confesses to leaning towards the pathetic. And he claims: "My acting style has gone out of favour."

The interview was recorded in the spring of 2005.
