S4:E3 Time for...Rolling the Dice (featuring Kate Saxon)

Games! A word that strikes fear into some, and absolute glee into others. This week Susie & Esther are discussing all things games and gaming. Board, card or ball - you name it, it might have been mentioned. Maybe put a bet on it (although we don't condone gambling...). The gaming theme continues with this week's very special guest - director Kate Saxon.Starting out as an actress, an unexpected job offer completely changed the course of Kate’s career, setting her on the path to becoming a much-celebrated director who works across many different mediums including theatre, television, opera and of course, computer games.Kate has directed more than 35 theatre productions, including the national tour of The History Boy For television, her credits include Grace; Call The Midwife and Endeavour. As a cinematic performance director for games, Kate has worked on BAFTA-winning and nominated titles including Alien: Isolation, Mafia III, and The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. During her career she has directed notable actors including Michael Fassbender, Naomie Harris, Sir Patrick Stewart, Simon Pegg, and Dame Judi Dench. The gals chat to Kate about her path into directing, her approach to each different project, her dramatic first day on Eastenders, and how she enjoys being tested by A-listers.
