Ageing in the Industry

In this episode we chat to two prolific actors, Julie Hesmondhalgh (Coronation Street, Broadchurch) and Andrew Jarvis (RSC, Lord of the Rings) who discuss ageing in the industry.

Trigger warning: this episode contains references to rape in the context of characters played.

I see beautiful, spirited, lively, vibrant older actresses very often in a shawl dribbling in an old people’s home… I just feel like we need to be growing out of those tropes now, and actually reflecting the women who are playing those roles”
