Simon Callow

He's more than just the funeral from Four Weddings and a Funeral. You may even remember him as the Master of the Revels in Shakespeare in Love. Hopefully, however, you know Simon Callow from more things than just that. Check out this article, written by Simon Callow, about playing the baddie in an Aladdin pantomime and truly satisfying theater in the Guardian.
What's astonishing is how passionately the kids care about the outcome of events. When Aladdin momentarily considers giving Abanazar the lamp, they scream themselves hoarse, as if his life were at stake. How they hate me. How deeply satisfying.
