Polymath alert! Actor, director, documentary maker, producer and novelist Ethan Hawke joins Jonathan to revel in his passion for theatre - and lifetime in it. When not failing to make Alessandro Nivola and Emily Mortimer's coffee machine work, Ethan recalls riling Tom Stoppard, an uplifting chance encounter with Mark Rylance on a snow-swept New York street, the sequel he wrote to Annie on first seeing it, Philip Seymour Hoffman popping backstage to make him proud, and many other things. Not to be missed, if only for his Stoppard and Rylance impressions! He is FANTASTIC company.
