Summary
Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!
Maybe you know Paapa Essiedu through his stellar Hamlet performance. Maybe you know him from starring in the absolutely stunning ‘I May Destroy You’, alongside the incredible Michaela Coel. Whatever degree you know Paapa, here’s a perfect chance to get all the better acquainted with him, as Pip has a chat with him about the whole lot and even more than that. From the themes of I May Destroy you, which leads on to a greater conversation about consent in general and all the subjects raised by the series, to life as a young Black Londoner, to his taking on Hamlet, hints at a possible parallel world career, ‘Gangs Of London’ and London as a backdrop, and the importance of preparation as an actor. Wonderful stuff which will be of interest to - well, everyone - but certainly actors young and old, who would be greatly inspired by such a skilful actor. Enjoy!
