I played Nina in 'The Seagull, and I remember thinking it's incredible to see all the actresses in the past that have played her. It is quite strengthening. You feel a part of the family of actresses going through and giving something of them selves to the role.

 We'd go to London, me and my two brothers and mum and dad. I think I saw 'Mamma Mia' about five times.

Mum would have a panic attack if she had to stand up and give a speech around a table.
I treated myself to a £700 Chloe bag after one of my first acting jobs. Then my friends pointed out that, for the same money, I could buy a flight to India. So I took it back.
It's so hard coming out of drama school to claim your right to be taken seriously and even get auditions.
