Dame Harriet Walter
She Speaks!
In conversation with Sophia Money-Coutts
Renowned for her wonderful portrayals in Succession and Killing Eve among others, Dame Harriet Walter is one of Britain's most esteemed Shakespearean actors. Having played most of the Bard's female characters, audaciously she lets them speak their minds.
Written in 'Shakespearean' verse and prose, Harriet Walter goes between the lines of the plays to let us hear what she imagines - sometimes playfully and sometimes searchingly - these women were really thinking.
Gertrude tells Hamlet the unvarnished truth; Lady MacBeth has her regrets; Kate, the Shrew, challenges us; Juliet's nurse challenges the nobility; Cleopatra's handmaiden reveals her mistress's secrets; Ariel is frightened of freedom; Ophelia surprises us; Olivia surprises herself; and the Witches have a good old rap.
‘Harriet Walter unpicks and re-centres the inner life and journey of these women as only one of our most talented and celebrated classical actors could. A must read!’ Maxine Peake
