Nina Hoss is such a big deal in her native Germany that when she landed a role in hit TV series Homeland, there was panic at newspaper Die Welt that she wouldn’t come back from America. “We don’t want to lose her,” it wailed. “What would German film and German theatre be without her?”
Some 10 years on, though she hasn’t abandoned her home country, Hoss has become more familiar to international viewers – for work including Homeland, Jack Ryan and most recently in Tár, playing the wife of Cate Blanchett’s capricious conductor – and next week Londoners will have their chance to see this great actor in the flesh for the first time.
