Two or three years ago, I went to see a Saturday matinee of Danny Boyle's Frankenstein. I bought my programme and went to order a drink. As I waited, I opened the programme. A bit of paper lay inside, apologising that Benedict Cumberbatch was ill. Instead, the role of the doctor would be played by Daniel Ings. My little brother, on stage at the National. He was an understudy, but hadn't told me he'd be standing in, so it was a complete surprise. I squealed so loudly everyone in the bar turned to stare at me.
