Trust is front and center in the working of this production, and it's conceivable there is a harder-working team of theater practitioners than the 'Cursed Child' company, but if there are, I'd like to meet them.

I've done a lot of shows over a long time, and I've lost my voice on plays before, and it's because I've been thinking closely about what I'm doing with my voice.

I'm making it up as I go along, like everyone else. There probably are some actors who are quite methodical or at least take their time about what particular footholds to find on the rocks next. There are always choices, even when you're not getting seen, for how to spend your time. It's only after 10 years that I got any kind of traction at all.
