And even within each individual year, because we have so many people playing so many roles, on different days, you can perform with different actors than you performed with the night before. So it's always fresh. Of course, there are things that have to stay the same. There are lighting effects, and steam effects, and costumes that have to look the same

. But within that, everyone brings their own perspective and experience of the character to it, whether it's Draco, Harry, Albus, or Scorpius. I've seen now so many people playing all of those roles, bringing something ever so slightly different and unique to it. And there's no there's no right or wrong performance, there's just a different perspective of a character. 

That's been really fun to be a part of. And of course, every time you get a new company, you get that fresh injection of youthful energy and blood in it. An amazing thing about the show is that we've got actors in it from fresh out of drama school right the way up to in their 70s who've been in the business for most of their life. And that mix of experience and youth and energy is so addictive. It really is an ensemble company performance. We couldn’t do the show without everyone being in the right place at the right time, doing their thing. Have you ever given any advice to those playing Draco? Oh, no! No, because I bring my own version to Draco, and my own experience of an actor to playing that role.
