![]() ![]() Even though the characters are mostly prostitutes, they’re not defined by their gender. ![]() It’s the world of Georgian prostitution told from the prostitutes’ point of view. It’s a really exciting female driven piece – it’s got a female writer, a female director and a cast that is predominantly female. I play a young journalist who gets involved in the politics between the two houses, by helping them both spread rumours about the other. It’s a show about these two boarding houses who are competing to be the best in Georgian Covent Garden. More recently, I was filming a show for ITV called Harlots. It was a really special introduction to the film industry. He’s just incredible and so humble as well. I play the assistant to the lead lawyer, who’s played by Andrew Scott. It was my first job out of drama school and it’s just coming to cinemas at the moment. It’s a film about Holocaust denial and a legal case to try and prove the denier wrong. All very hush hush!ĭenial is very exciting. ![]() Unfortunately I can’t say anything about Black Mirror, other than it’s going to be on Netflix instead of Channel 4. I understand you’re in several big upcoming film and television projects including Denial, Black Mirror and Harlots. But it’s helped massively by the experience of some slightly older actors who can tell us when we’re being idiots. It’s really nice to be doing a story with a bunch of young actors who are all at similar points in their careers. What’s the cast dynamic like, with so many young actors all working together? I definitely had a stage very recently of being in a position where I couldn’t do what I wanted – and not quite knowing what that thing was anyway! But I’ve been out of the woods with that for a little while now so I suppose I’m more like the Alan at the end of the play than the Alan at the start. They were both the sons of diplomats and they were both caught between doing what they wanted to do and doing what they were expected to do. In this play, Rattigan mirrors a lot of his own life story in Alan. During the course of the play he discovers which path he has to take in his life to achieve happiness. He’s intelligent, frustrated and feeling the pressure of having to fulfill other people’s expectations. How does your character, Alan, fit into the story? We’ve fallen in love with it all over again. We performed this show at the Orange Tree Theatre in London a few months ago and it’s been so lovely getting back into it for the tour. It’s also a coming of age play about kids who learn a hell of a lot about themselves, and work out what’s important and what’s not important. It tackles the universal problem of falling in love with the wrong person. What can you tell us about French Without Tears? His TV appearances include Black Mirror, What Remains and Spies of Warsaw. Having recently graduated from the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art – LAMDA – he talks about his role in the play. Ziggy Heath plays Alan in Terence Rattigan’s FRENCH WITHOUT TEARS which is at the Everyman Theatre in Cheltenham from11th October. ![]()
