Jesse Eisenberg on the perils of New York theatre

In the new issue of Hot Press, American acting superstar Jesse Eisenberg talks about what it was like to work alongside Michael Caine, Woody Harrelson and Morgan Freeman in acclaimed new blockbuster, Now You See Me.
He also reflects on his growing reputation as a playwright and the downside to life on Broadway.
“My feeling about New York theatre is that 90% of the audience are there to hate it,” Eisenberg claims. “You can sense it in the room, people deliberately not laughing at something because they feel competitive with you because they’re also part of New York theatre.”
