Exclusive: Gary Oldman: We had to beg from the Royal Court stage

New writing powerhouse the Royal Court turns 60 this year. To celebrate, actors, directors and writers will share their memories and experiences of the theatre.

As a treat, we have a series of exclusive videos for WhatsOnStage readers which we will share over the coming few weeks. Here the Batman and Harry Potter star talks about working onstage at the Court and why he wouldn't exist if the Royal Court didn't.
