Join award-winning actor Julie Hesmondhalgh – known for her roles in massively popular TV shows such as Broadchurch, Happy Valley and Coronation Street, as well as stage performances at venues including Manchester’s Royal Exchange and the Royal Court Theatre, London – as she discusses her acclaimed career and the realities of life as an actor in today’s industry.
Hear insights and advice from Julie on a range of topics – such as preparing for roles, managing career ups and downs, and looking after your mental health – drawn from her decades of experience on stage and screen. Plus, there’ll be the opportunity to ask your own questions.
This Q&A will be followed by a booksigning of Julie’s new book, An Actor’s Alphabet, which will be on sale at the special discounted price of £8 (RRP £9.99). Pre-order your copy at the same time as your ticket, or purchase one on the night.
