INTERVIEW: Tony Clay, currently in Albion at the Bush Theatre

Tony graduated from Arts Educational School of Acting in 2013. For television, his work includes Foyle’s War; and for film, The Second Coming and An Ordinary Life. He'll be playing Jayson in Albion at the Bush Theatre from 12th September. 

Would you please tell us a little about the plot of ALBION?
The plot of the play follows the story of two brothers who run a pub in East London named The Albion & primarily focuses on the far right political & non-political movements throughout Britain & throughout the world and what happens when these particular parties are able to learn a language in which they are deemed to be accepting of diversity. With a few karaoke classics in there aswell. 
What would you say are the most important messages in the play?
For me, the most important message of the play is that no matter your views or beliefs, everyone has a right to be heard. From the most liberal person to the furthest of the far right, everyone has a voice & should be allowed the freedom of expression to voice that. It can be so easy to shut down and censor people but it can be a very dangerous thing when those people feel abandoned & feel they no longer have a voice to express how they feel.
