Hannah Murray: Listener Q+A

from Character Study

Freya puts listener questions to actor and author Hannah Murray, whose memoir The Make-Believe is out now from Penguin.Hannah answers questions from listeners about her time on Skins — including the behind-the-scenes moment she'd most want to relive — and reflects on whether the qualities that made her a good actor, empathy and emotional availability chief among them, also made her more vulnerable to the experiences she writes about. She offers practical, hard-won advice for anyone attempting their own memoir: set strict time limits, move it off you physically, and don't rush — because no one else can tell your story the way you can. Plus, a poet friend's reframe of writing exhaustion that stopped both Hannah and Freya in their tracks.This is a conversation about what it costs to go back — and why the only cure for creative jet lag is getting outside.🎥 WATCH the full episode here📘 Buy Hannah Murray's The Make Believe and remember you can now pre-order Freya's novel: A Real Piece of Work.💛 Follow @freybromley on Instagram for updates and to ask your questions📚 Join Freya's newsletter at freyabromley.substack.com for behind the scenes thoughts🎙️And hit subscribe wherever you get your podcasts Hosted on Acast.
