   Why did Haig start writing?

   • “I started writing out of a desire to not always be part of the picture, but to actually create the framed object itself. I wanted to be on the other side of things. And I wanted to have a quieter side to creativity, rather than always slotting into the craziness of rehearsal rooms,” Haig says.

   What makes Haig a good interviewee?

   • Haig – sat on a sofa in his south London home, tablet in one hand, glass of wine in the other, sprawling family spread throughout the house – is an affable, articulate interviewee. He is a bit like the stress-ball characters he often plays on screen, but far friendlier and far more relaxed. He exudes exactitude but not anxiety.

   Who is David Haig in King Lear?

   • King Lear is at the Theatre Royal Bath until 10 August. David Haig is one of those actors who can’t escape the visual identity of his characters. He’s the sad suburban salaryman. He’s the pasty-faced petty bureaucrat. He’s the bungling office curmudgeon with a volcanic temper.
