'It's a magical place, the theatre,' says Zoë in new radio interview

5 December 2015 01:51

On Wednesday afternoon, Hospital Radio Reading broadcast a brand new interview with Zoë, as part of The Matthew Rolland Show.

Discussing her love of theatre at the beginning of the interview, Zoë recalled that she was fortunate enough to be introduced to live performances at a young age and was captivated by watching stories unfold on stage. 'It's a magical place, the theatre,' she emphasised.

Zoë spoke enthusiastically about her current project, performing All On Her Own and Harlequinade at London's Garrick Theatre. In this Rattigan double bill, she stars as haunted widow Rosemary and formidable actress Dame Maud. She described them as 'two contrasting characters which are really fascinating to play'.

Zoë clearly enjoys being part of the acting profession, not least because of the number of 'extraordinary' people with whom she has the opportunity to work. She remarked that 'so many people are so talented', and 'each person brings something wonderful to their work'. 'I've remained starstruck all of my life!' she laughed.

On a personal note, I'm extremely grateful for Zoë's kind words about this website, when she was asked about her fanbase. The site's been online for more than ten years, and I enjoy managing it as much now as when it was first launched during summer 2002.

You can listen to the full interview online (it begins about half an hour into the radio programme).
