Actors’ Trust is delighted to be welcoming esteemed actress Lesley Joseph in conversation with broadcaster, barrister and author, Rob Rinder.
Spend your Sunday morning with Rob and Lesley as she lifts the curtain on a career spanning over five decades, from Birds of a Feather to the West End. Get a behind-the-scenes look at the industry’s highs, lows, and everything in between and have the chance to ask your own burning questions.
As trustees of Actors’ Trust, Rob and Lesley are deeply aware of the struggles faced by many actors and stage managers, but also the joys that a life in the spotlight can bring. You won’t want to miss their fascinating discussion!
The event will take place on Zoom and is offered to members and friends of Actors’ Trust.
Alternatively, you can RSVP via email at hello@actorstrust.org.uk using the subject line “Q&A event”.
We can’t wait to see you there!
