“It was 15 minutes into The Seagull, when Ben Whishaw laughed, that I concluded that he cannot act. Whishaw laughed the way you and I would laugh. He just laughs. He did not play the part of Chekhov’s doomed, demented anti-hero. He was him.
That of course is the triumph – and the paradox – of truly great acting.
His Konstantin is every bit as impressive as the Hamlet that made his name at the Old Vic two years ago”Ben Whishaw
