After numerous roles in high-profile television programmes like HBO's House of the Dragon and Netflix's The Crown, Matt Smith is returning to the West End in Henrik Ibsen's An Enemy of the People.

Speaking to Today's Martha Kearney, the actor says he found the prospect of being on stage "frightening" at first, but wanted to work with German director Thomas Ostermeier.

Martha also spoke to Thomas, who said the production of the play is about "becoming as attractive as a rock concert".
