Creatives in Conversation - Fiona Shaw
Alongside acclaimed theatre performances in the role of Medea, Electra, Hedda Gabler and Richard II, Fiona Shaw has delighted screen audiences in various roles, as ice-cool MI6 agent Carolyn Martens in Killing Eve, and as therapist to Phoebe Waller-Bridge's Fleabag. Her film credits include the inimitable Ms Nugent in The Butcher Boy, Dr Eileen Cole in My Left Foot and Petunia Dursley in Harry Potter.
In this week's Creatives in Conversation we hear an excerpt from her 2009 Michael Littleton Memorial Lecture entitled 'The Elephant and the Nightingale - the enduring nature of language in theatre’
Mark Mcgrath and Ciara Murphy were on sound.
The producer was Kevin Reynolds.
