A Guide To Flirting

by Tamzin Lewis  October 2006

It is a double act on the stage and in the dressing room. Tamsin Greig and Joseph Millson are Shakespeare’s witty cynics Beatrice and Benedick in a sultry Much Ado About Nothing. And lengthy RSC rehearsals for the play have clearly forged a strong friendship between the two.
 

Tamsin says: “We had quite a lot of time to spend on the Beatrice and Benedick relationship, which was great. We had to get the back story of what had gone on between the two of them. And we had lots of opportunity to go down blind alleys and cul-de-sacs and get it wrong.”

(From Leicester Mercury)

From James Bond to the Bard: Joseph Millson is licensed to thrill. As LIZZ BRAIN explains I Having already added more raves to his stockpile of reviews for his performance as Benedick in Much Ado About Nothing, he's now rehearsing for a new production of the rarely-staged King John.

In the meantime, he's barely had time to stand still.

He played Banquo in the BBC's Macbeth, and appeared with Steven Berkoff in Richard II - "That was fantastic,'' he said.

He called me Phil for the entire run and it became such a running joke among the company during notes sessions that I never dared tell him!" he says, sitting during his lunch break on the lawns of the Swan Theatre.

A Spanish main man

Oct 29 2004 By Gordon Barr, The Evening Chronicle

Having three plum roles in one Royal Shakespeare Company season is enough to make any actor envious. And Joseph Millson, ex-dishy doctor in ITV's Peak Practice, is certainly enjoying his stint in the RSC's Spanish Season.

Only problem is, with three roles to play, and with the productions playing alternate nights, he sometimes has trouble remembering who he is. "I've had to give my characters little mannerisms to remember them by," laughs Joseph, during a well-earned break during The Spanish Season's Stratford run.

Baffling, but bound to be a hit.

Sept 7 , 2004

(From The Northern Echo)

Byline: VIV HARDWICK

LOVE is in the air for Royal Shakespeare Company debutantes Joseph Millson and Rebecca Johnson, who play romantic leads in three of four fascinating Spanish Golden Age plays heading for Newcastle in November.

But don't mention heartthrobs to Millson, who feels that playing dishy Dr Sam Morgan in ITV1's Peak Practice did him few favours.

He says: "I never looked anything like my character. Short and chubby on screen and tall, lanky and dirty in real life. Bizarrely I did a few months on EastEnders and I had one week of my life when I found out what those poor buggers go through.
