Summary

Hey Hey!! How's it hanging? Spring has sprung hasn't it! Hope your vitamin D stores are suitably replenished. This week we are back to Wales again for a chat with Alexandra Roach. You may have seen Alexandra way back in 2011 playing as young Meryl Streep in The Iron Lady, or even further back in the Welsh language soap Pobol Y Cwm. Alex went on to play roles in many more films and television programs including One Chance, Utopia, Black Mirror, No Offence and Killing Eve amongst many others. Growing in Ammanford, Wales, Alex takes us through her journey through fiver-a-week drama schools to RADA. She and Craig discuss failed auditions, playing Margaret Thatcher, speaking Welsh, big life decisions, bucking Welsh choral stereotypes and loads, loads more. This is episode 146 of the Two Shot Podcast with Alexandra Roach. Get in touch...
