Most people know Robert Sean Leonard from his role as Dr. James Wilson in the medical drama House, or his star turn as a young man in Dead Poet’s Society (1989) with Robin Williams, Ethan Hawke and others. Now, Leonard appears as Jerry, the best friend of Robert (played by Ian Barford) and who is having an affair with Robert’s wife Emma (played by the legendary Helen Hunt). The work of Harold Pinter, the play is based on true events in Pinter’s own life. In this conversation, Robert talks about his amazing career, the challenges of being in a play that tells the story in reverse time order, and his view of Chicago theater audiences.
