Sylvia is one of the most complex characters I’ve ever come across in drama. She’s a mass of contradictions. She’s one of these people who is simultaneously amoral and yet a devoted Catholic. She’s a big flirt and yet she’s chaste. She’s manipulative and wily and angry and yet also victimised and a product of her situation. So she’s everything and its opposite all at the same time, which makes her completely dazzling and mesmerizing, frankly. And for an actor the biggest challenge is trying to realise all those elements of a human being. Rebecca Hall [x]
