NICK ROBINSON COVERS WONDERLAND WINTER 2020 ISSUE

Nick Robinson made his name acting in YA

dramas, but after the huge success of Love,

Simon in 2018, he was ready to move on from

high school corridors and teenage heartache.

Kate Mara and director Hannah Fidell had

other ideas, though. With the script for A

Teacher, they presented the actor with a

character whose naivety is entangled in

a complex web of lust and manipulation,

and a story that offsets innocence with

exploitation. Dealing with delicate,

provocative themes, this was a story

that provided all of the grit, nuance and

challenges Robinson had been looking for.

Based on Fidell’s 2013 film of the same

name, the FX mini-series centers an

affair between 18-year- old student and

soccer team captain Eric (Robinson)

and his English teacher, Claire (Mara).

After following the relationship escalate

and quickly combust, in the second half

of the series Fidell explores its

uncomfortable consequences as

they unfurl, and we’re left to grapple

with the lasting trauma Eric faces.

Speaking to Mara a few days before

the series’ release and in the midst

of the US election count, Robinson

reflects on the challenges of the role,

working with Ed Harris for his recent

stint in To Kill a Mockingbird on

Broadway, and the importance of

staying politically energised and

engaged.
