Interview with Southwark Fair star

Rainbow Network meets Rory Kinnear, who stars in Samuel Adamson's new play Southwark Fair which opens tonight at the National Theatre.

Many of the people who gravitate towards cities are searching for something they can’t quite put a finger on and Southwark Fair is about these complex relationships. But primarily it’s about dealing with the pressures of being - and not being - in a relationship and during the course of the play we get to meet several disparate characters - gay straight and bisexual - all learning to deal with life in the capital. RainbowNetwork caught up with actor Rory Kinnear who plays a Simon, a gay character with a particularly colourful past, to find out more.

Southwark Fair is set in and around Potters Fields and Butler's Wharf.
