DESERT ISLAND DISCS REVISITED: HONOURED ACTORS - MARK RYLANCE (320kbs-m4a/97mb/42mins)
BBC Radio 4 Extra broadcast: 9th April 2021
From Beethoven to Nina Simone.
Actor Mark Rylance shares his castaway choices with Kirsty Young.
Born in Kent and brought up in America where his father was a teacher, Mark played Hamlet for the first time while he was still at school.
Since then he's become particularly well known for his acclaimed and award-winning Shakespearean stage roles. He won an Olivier and a Tony award for his portrayal of Johnny 'Rooster' Byron in Jez Butterworth's 'Jerusalem' onstage in both Britain and the USA.
He's also appeared in a number of film roles, was the first artistic director of London's Globe Theatre - a post he held for a decade - and his portrayal of Thomas Cromwell in BBC TV's adaptation of Hilary Mantel's Wolf Hall brought him to a wider audience.
First broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in February 2015.
