Not only will you be able to catch Freddie Fox this month in the BBC’s mega drama Parade’s End (also starring Rebecca Hall and Benedict Cumberbatch) but you can also see him live at the Hampstead Theatre when he appears in David Hare’s The Judas Kiss with Rupert Everett as Oscar Wilde. His current reading shows he’s been doing his research diligently.
1). What are you reading at the moment?
My Friendship With Oscar Wilde by Alfred Douglas.
2). As a child, what did you read under the covers?
I read very little as a child owing to severe dyslexia. I was scared to read. So I listened either to audiobooks (The Thorn Ogres of Hagwood read by Geoffrey Palmer I remember very specifically) or Dad would read to me (usually the classics like Robin Hood or Robinson Crusoe to send me to sleep.)
3) Has a book ever made you cry, and if so which one?
4) You are about to be put into solitary confinement for a year and allowed to take three books.
