We speak to the British star of stage and screen about her new show, The Second Woman
“It could be really boring,” Ruth Wilson says, cheerfully, of the extraordinary feat of theatrical endurance she is shortly to attempt. She speaks with the confidence of someone who knows that the “it” to which she refers is, in fact, quite unlikely to be really boring. “No,” she corrects herself, “I anticipate it won’t be.”
I tell her that, talking to her about it, I feel as one does when an acquaintance says they’ve signed up for an ultramarathon: a mixture of awe and bafflement. I mean, hats off and high-fives all round, but why don’t they just go for a nice jog, like the rest of us? Wilson’s character is called Virginia. The 100 men are all different versions of Marty. They are partners, or lovers, or somehow romantically involved. He enters and tries to end the relationship. When she seeks reassurance, he is unwilling, or unable, to give it. The scene lasts seven minutes and each time it is repeated it follows the same short script. It is simultaneously filmed on multiple cameras and projected onto a screen.
“The things that excite you as an actor are moments of spontaneity,” Wilson says. “Going into TV or film or even a play you can prepare meticulously, but the things that make you feel alive are when it’s something surprising or shocking, when someone does something different. You’re always looking for something that feels real, even in a constructed environment.
