↬ “The only kind of work I’ve ever really been interested in craftily holds up the mirror to what is really going on in the world, and from the safety of that ‘fictional’ construct, allow us to hopefully re-evaluate how we can live our lives for the better. It’s great to be a part of a piece that is so relatable.” 

I was shocked to discover last year that the ratio of men to woman shown on stage and screen in the UK is 2:1. There was actually greater gender equality on screen 100 years ago. The Era 50:50 campaign seeks to highlight the gender inequality that exists not only on the stage or in front of the camera, but behind the scenes too. It also proposes ways in which this can change, for example asking production companies to ensure that over the course of a year they employ 50:50 male and female writers, directors, actors and so on. I feel very passionate about it not just in terms of the opportunities available to women in creative arts, but also the impact it has on audiences and society as a whole.
