  • Summary

  • Dame Harriet Walter is one of the UK's most distinguished stage actresses, and an award-winning star of Ted Lasso and Succession. In this candid interview, she talks to Gyles about her parents' divorce, her teenage struggles with mental health, and her famous uncle, Christopher Lee. She describes her first experiences of acting at school, and how her headteacher spotted her talent and encouraged it. Make sure you listen to the end, to hear Harriet amaze Gyles with some Shakespeare. Harriet's brilliant book, 'She Speaks' is a daring and inventive collection of speeches for Shakespeare's female characters, imagining what they might have said if they'd had the chance.
