Sweetman Podcast: Episode 60 - Miranda Harcourt

An in-depth chat with actor/director/acting coach Miranda Harcourt. We talk through her 50-year career from child-star to coaching child-stars. She still works in film - acting and directing - but also has a career as an internationally renowned acting coach. Whether you know her from radio plays or kids TV (narrating Hairy Maclary), from her early defining role on NZ TV's "Gloss" or for her film work such as 'For Good' and 'The Rehearsal' you surely know at least some of her fine work. There's also experimental theatre, being the head teacher of the national drama school (Toi Whakaari)and all of the stories of her generosity with time and skills to theatre practitioners across New Zealand. We talked through it all as well as giving a big plug to the upcoming film she and partner Stuart McKenzie have co-directed, an adaptation of the classic Margaret Mahy book, The Changeover.
