Olivier-award winner Adrian Lester enlightens us on the opening speech from 'Cost of Living' by Polish-American playwright Martyna Majok: He shares the journey behind taking on the role, why it was a more nerve-wracking monologue to deliver than Peter Brook's 'Hamlet' and just why fake nails were so helpful when he played Rosalind for Cheek By Jowl.Hosted by Lucy Eaton, star of lockdown smash-comedy Staged (BBC/Netflix/Staged), West End actress and theatre producer. Other episodes include Patricia Hodge OBE, Hamilton's Giles Terera and Eastenders star Maddy Hill.Follow us on Instagram and Twitter at @PodHearMeOut, and watch visual clips from the show on our Youtube channel: https://bit.ly/3l7vRht** Join the family by becoming a Hear Me Out Patreon! www.patreon.com/podhearmeout **A Lucy Eaton Productions podcast.
