 “We were always very aware that the age of our audience normally had big mountains of grey hair,” he explains. “That’s the audience that comes to the theater a majority of the time because they could afford it. Maybe it wasn’t the performance that we definitely wanted to give and maybe there were many more performances we could have given, but we are so lucky. It’s such a reward to have this hard three years of work reach a new, different, and younger audience that Alan should find. He should have a young audience and his words should appeal to them.” When The History Boys premiered in the U.S., Dominic noticed the uniquely different reaction of a foreign audience not normally akin to English culture or humor. “They were different. Absolutely enthusiastic,” recalls Cooper. “My character has a couple of lines and says phrases that are very English. An example of one is, ‘I thought we might push the boat out.’ It’s quite a funny line in England. Suddenly, in New York, not a whisper, nothing. It was sad to lose some of the laugh.” When the 26 year-old actor was asked how he’d be able to effectively follow up on something of such high quality as The History Boys, Dom says he’s cautious of the options he has. “We’ve been spoiled and that is really hard on any level,” he admits. “It’s a good time for us and I think we do have to be particularly careful with our choices. I found something that I’m doing in December that is almost perfect. It’s a film called Brief Interviews with Hideous Men, which is based on a book. It’s a very low-budget, small independent film, but it has fantastic writing and it’s a very dark, in-depth character that I could do a lot of work with.” However, no matter where the road lies ahead for Dominic Cooper, he will always have a special place for his fateful days as one of The History Boys. “We grew with the characters,” notes Cooper. “We’ve been doing them for three years. We did kind of resemble the characters and you notice their nuances.” He, then, goes on to joke, “We’re hassling Alan a lot to write another part for us: History Boys 2: The Older Days. |
