She will be interviewed by up and coming actor James Wilkes who appeared in the recent BBC production of His Dark Materials. The pair met whilst working together on Peter Pan and Wendy at the RSC.

It is just one of several online events organised by the Willow Globe. Question and answer sessions with various artists and experts are available on the theatre’s website - https://www.shakespearelink.org.uk/productions
