Actor Minnie Gale meets fellow actor Pippa Nixon and they talk about how the theatre industry is beginning to change so that women and men can continue working when they've become parents. Pippa talks about her experiences of performing in The Importance of Being Earnest and breastfeeding a newborn, and Minnie reflects of her journey playing Margaret in all three parts of Henry VI, beginning when she was five months' pregnant for part one, and ending with a nine-month-old baby.
Each week we bring together current Royal Shakespeare Company actors with RSC artists who have inspired them.
The music is ‘Oberon’s Theme – King of Shadows’, originally composed by Sam Kenyon for A Midsummer Night’s Dream (2016).
