Actor Anyebe Godwin meets film, stage and television actor Cleo Sylvestre. Cleo talks about breaking down boundaries by becoming the first black actress with a permanent role on a British television soap in the original series of Crossroads, collaborating with The Rolling Stones in the ‘60s and the time that Laurence Olivier knocked on her dressing-room door.
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).
