Episode 6: Why Do We Act Like This? – with Suzy Bloom

This week, West End actress Suzy Bloom joins Jessica at home for an honest, on the couch conversation about life in the industry. From scouring the pages of The Stage to pounding the pavements for open castings and reminisce about the good old days of posting black-and-white 10x8 headshots, they look back on three decades of auditioning and how much (and how little) has changed.

Suzy opens up about being one of the West End’s most trusted understudies, yet still fighting to be recognised as an actress in her own right. Together, they unpack the boxes society puts performers in and why the industry still struggles to see beyond them.

And of course… Suzy faces The Big Question.
