Sam Tutty is a rising star in British theatre – which is very lucky for British theatre, because until quite recently the 22-year-old thought he might become an athlete. “But by the time I finished my A-levels it had just got too hard. I’d sprint for 20 minutes then throw up,” he says over a Zoom chat.
Fortunately, this self-deprecating young man discovered other talents at his West Sussex comprehensive. “I did a drama GCSE – and I was like: ‘This is really fun.’ I was getting good grades and it was really enjoyable and I wasn’t having to try too hard,” he says.
