Description
Julie Hesmondhalgh's working diary chronicles her experiences as an actor and producer in 2016. It begins with rehearsals for Mike Leigh's film about the Peterloo Massacre, followed by visits to schools promoting Arts Emergency, and preparations for a possible London transfer of Wit. The book offers a unique insight into Hesmondhalgh's life as she navigates her career, family life, and the challenges of starting a new chapter after 16 years in Coronation Street. The diary takes place against the backdrop of significant political change, including the Brexit vote and Donald Trump's election as US president. Throughout, Hesmondhalgh reflects on the impact of these changes on her own life and career, as well as the pressures faced by actors, producers, and arts education in general. This working diary provides a candid look at the ups and downs of life as a working actor and producer, balancing creative pursuits with family responsibilities.
