From Neighbours to Marco Polo on Netflix, Spider-Man: Far From Home and Crazy Rich Asians, the 35-year-old has had a varied career but live theatre is his happy place, so opening the contemporary adaptation of Anne Brontë’s The Tenant of Wildfell Hall this week has been a dream.
“It’s been seven years since I’ve been on stage, and it’s something I’ve been trying to get back to,” he tells Insider between rehearsals.
“I started off in the theatre. I went to drama school and was very theatrically based. I always thought that’s where I was going to have my career and then ended up going down the film and TV route which kept me really busy.” [...]
The Tenant Of Wildfell Hall follows the mysterious arrival of Helen Graham in the town of Lindenhope.
She has a young son in tow but no husband in sight — a concept which so shocked English society in 1848 that Brontë’s sister — Jane Eyre’s Charlotte Brontë — tried to stop the book’s republication.

Get in before the hordes to visit the Brontë Parsonage Museum and tackle the moors, walking from the wild-feeling campsite at the Wuthering Heights Inn, a simple Yorkshire pub with pitches and two shepherd’s huts. It’s within easy driving distance of Leeds, or you can cycle in about two hours, but there’s also a bus from Bradford, which is even closer.
