The Stage interviews Patrick Stewart, who talks about the time in 1986, when he got the call to appear in a production of Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, but ended up playing Captain Picard "I was a different actor after that - doing that kind of play, and finally being able to make truth of an emotional commitment to a role like that in such a small, exposing theatre, with the support of three magnificent actors [Billie Whitelaw, Saskia Reeves and Matthew Marsh], made all the difference to me. The calamity that then happened to me was that I was offered Star Trek: The Next Generation. [...] It did change many, many things, and I'm immensely grateful for that. I have worked hard not in any sense to feel they were wasted years -though time is a factor in all of this, and I now have a lot of catching up to do. I feel that acutely - not that there have been lost opportunities, but that there are things I might have done and I've got to do a lot of them quickly now." (Feb 14)
