The star furthermore called the play a “fascinating study of human sexuality.”
He added of the main two characters: “It’s quite a complicated relationship and they go on a break. And in that break, John meets a woman. It’s about how that brings up complications in their understanding of each other.”
Johnny’s other stage roles include Company and King Lear. His TV roles include Doctor Who and Broadchurch.
Attitude’s new-look March/April issue is out now.
