Many of the young people he works with are also looking for the same things, he adds.<\/p>\n
Morenike Onajobi, a graduate of Intermission Youth, is making her professional debut as an actor, having left her full-time job in HR to do so.<\/p>\n
She plays Kemi, the \u201cvoice of reason\u201d in the play, and said working alongside Sir Mark meant “every single day is like a masterclass”.<\/p>\n
“Working with him and Darren combined is really fun. And they have fun, they really do.”<\/p>\n
Rylance and Raymond have plans to take the play to the West End proper, as well as to work together on more professional plays through Intermission Ensemble in the future.<\/p>\n
I ask whether Tartuffe (Remixed) then, is not just the culmination of their work together, but the beginning of an expansion.<\/p>\n
“I hope so!” exclaims Rylance. “I’m enjoying it so much, it’s where I’m going to do my classical work.”<\/p>\n

Rylance reaches over to grasp Raymond’s arm.<\/p>\n
“He’s one of the great leaders,” he says.<\/p>\n
“My faith in people is revived when I’m with Darren.<\/p>\n
“My hope, particularly where hope is rightly placed, is with young people.<\/p>\n
“He’s just got enormous gifts and on top of it all a sense of humour.”<\/p>\n
