From Alan Bennett to Anna Friel, Britain has an illustrious history of ruling Broadway. Our latest principal boy is Tom Riley who, as Septimus Hodge in Tom Stoppard's Arcadia, is currently winning glittering reviews. We meet in New York's Barrymore Theatre, where Arcadia is playing to full houses.

Arcadia, is currently enjoying a well-received revival at the Barrymore theater. Tom Riley, the 30-year-old British actor making his Broadway debut in the production as the 19th-century poet, tutor to a genius and lothario Septimus Hodge, talked with us about sound amplification on Broadway, Tom Stoppard's way with words, working with the actor who originated your role on Broadway, and why they really need you to turn off your cell phone before the show (hint: a remote-controlled tortoise is involved).

There is an interview with Tom in today's Sunday Telegraph Seven Magazine, where Tom describes his perfect Sunday in New York. The interview can be accessed online via the Telegraph e-paper. 

Monroe is now available on UK iTunes, to buy as a series pass for £10.99 or £1.89 for individual episodes. 

Variety have posted an online article about last week's opening night for Arcadia, with several photos of the after party, including this one of Tom and a brief interview with Billy Crudup. Read the full article on the website.

The TDF Stages website has an interview with Tom about mastering the text of Arcadia. Read the interview in full on the TDF Stages website. 

The Canadian Press has posted an interview with Tom and the other male leads in Arcadia, where they discuss their roles. Read it in full on the website.

"On the page he appears quick, charming, a grinning smiling Cheshire cat with a raised eyebrow," Riley said of the role of Septimus. "But the more you delve into it, the more complex and deep it becomes."..
