The secret, she says, is not judging them at all, no matter how tempting it may be. Speaking exclusively to Radio Times she said: "What's quite lucky as an actor is that one of the things that's least useful for your job is any sort of judgement or opinion. Because you just have to be open to someone who's not you, you can't really judge them."
Based on the 2021 film starring the likes of Ann Dowd and Jason Isaacs, Mass sees two couples meet in a church basement to discuss a shared tragedy between their two children. While we won't be spoiling said tragedy here, what you need to know is most people would find such an event very hard to forgive, so for Dolan, it was an exciting prospect to sink her teeth into.
"And, you know, for human beings is a very difficult thing to do and requires generosity, sometimes on a very enormous scale.
On stage, Dolan is part of a very limited cast with Slow Horses actor Paul Hilton as her husband Richard, and opposing parents Jay and Gail played by Harlan Coben star Adeel Akhtar and Lyndsey Marshal. Actors Susie Trayling, Rochelle Rose and Amari Bacchus complete the cast, however, most scenes are just the two couples.
"What's so exciting and engaging is that for much of it we're just doing this one uninterrupted scene and it's highly technical.
As for why people should see it, she said: "I think theatre is all about being in the same room and I think they will feel like they're in the room with these people and that this situation that these characters are in is absolutely unique.
Mass is playing at London's Donmar Warehouse until 6 June.
