Hattie Morahan is one of Britain's greatest actors.
She left Cambridge with a degree in English and won a part in the
RSC company. She has gone on to win the best actress gong at
the Evening Standard Theatre Awards for her portrayal of Nora in
Ibsen’s A Doll’s House and has starred alongside Nicole Kidman and
Daniel Craig in Golden Compass, Emma Watson in Beauty and the Beast
and Keira Knightley and Matt Smith in Official Secrets.
In this episode she talks about navigating an industry that's not a
meritocracy - "fundamentally we're used to seeing more male bodies
on stage than female bodies" - conversations that are happening
about safe space in the wake of #metoo - "I did a read-through the
other day and there was a 20-minute powerpoint presentation on
harassment" - and how her attitude to work has shifted since
becoming a parent.
