'40 years ago it was a satire – now it feels like it was prophetic,' Alton marvels. 'I think a lot of people will see Trump's America in it even if that isn't the intent, because it's incredibly relevant. With Trump, with Brexit, you wouldn't be shocked if someone started shouting in the streets about fake news, or out of sheer frustration at what feels like intransigence in our leaders and in each other. In the end, we're all mad as hell.'Alton is returning to the National after an acclaimed turn as Ibsen's dastardly Hedda Gabler that netted her a fifth Olivier nomination earlier this year, and was also helmed by Network's Belgian auteur director Ivo Van Hove. When asked if she sees similarity between the protofeminist Hedda and ruthless television executive Diana, Alton gets a certain glint in her eye. 'They're both women trying to grasp at something, to escape what is expected,' she explains. 'In Hedda's case there's this almost lazy masochism to it, whereby she closes off her options and likes the suffering of it. Diana craves the adrenalin and the savagery and is unwilling to apologise for it or relent on it. But in the end, they both make quite uncomfortable beds to have to sleep in.' She pauses, then adds conspiritorially, 'And they're both on crash courses with hell. Ivo felt quite strongly that Hedda was always a suicide play, and that Network is a tragedy.' |
