Breaking Baz: Billy Howle Prepares To Play An Angry Young Man On Stage & Dishes On The Hush-Hush Movie About How The Middle-East Became A Tinderbox
Billy Howle talks his roles in 'The Perfect Couple,' 'Look Back in Anger' and the upcoming Palestine movie 'All Before You.'
In a sense, Howle’s the ideal thespian to grapple with Jimmy Porter, a young man resentful of his lot in life — the first in his working-class family to gain a university education, but unable to find a job that chimes with the injustices he sees in the world. Earlier this year, Howle starred opposite Lindsay Duncan, Bessie Carter, and Kate Fahy, in director Emily Burns’s illuminating revival of Dodie Smith’s pre-war success Dear Octopus ± the very kind of play that Osborne and Wesker pushed off the West End’s repertoire. Howle says that his itinerant lifestyle, travelling for screen and stage work, means that he’s often found washing his socks and smalls in hotel baths, a ritual he finds “satisfying,” rather than being able to enjoy performing his music at a house he purchased seven years ago at a popular seaside spot on the Kent peninsula.
