“I’m sure he would be writing for the cinema if he were alive today.” As it happened, a Hollywood screenwriter who shared an agent with Fiennes was equally consumed by “Coriolanus”, and convinced that of all the plays this one would have more power on the screen. Long before, however, Francesca had told a friend that things were “winding down”.
“It was almost as if she’d been waiting for it.”RADA had a policy of sharing out leading roles, so none of his contemporaries considered Fiennes to be “more than perfectly OK”, as the actor Neil Dudgeon puts it. “He would probably have led a conventional gentleman farmer’s life, but under Jini’s influence he became a hero.” Friends called him Abraham, because of his sense of himself as father of the tribe, unthreatened by the compelling force of his wife.
