Matilda Castrey and Benedict Cumberbatch in the 2008 Royal Court production of Martin Crimp's The City

More rare, perhaps, than a print interview with dramatist Martin Crimp is a video interview; the playwright himself speaks below, in a discussion from January 2011 in Geneva, Switzerland. In this interview, Crimp talks about the self-definition of a writer, the emergence of the city as a central motif in his plays, and the place of the dramatist in the rehearsal room.
