Ladies n' Genminminmin (er, min...) please welcome Award Winning Actress & fellow Bristol Old Vic Theatre School Alumni, Lucy Briers to 'The Clearing'.Lucy is Daughter of Richard Briers, the famous UK TV Actor and National Treasure, now sadly no longer with us.Lucy was the proud recipient of  the Clarence Derwent Award for Best Supporting Actress in the West End in 2019 for her performance in Ibsen's "Rosmersholm". And in good company she is too, as Gene Hackman & Christopher Walken were both previous recipients of the same Award for their performances on Broadway!Prepare to be transported as Lucy paints a vivid picture of her 'Clearing' (or 'serious happy place') as being the Sheep Meadow in Central Park, Manhattan, where she was fortunate to work not once but twice!The conversation takes a poignant turn as Lucy opens up about navigating the delicate balance between the public and private perceptions of her late father, respected actor Richard Briers. She warmly recounts stories that reveal his generosity and the impact he had on her, and also shares her sister's journey into stage management. We delve into the heartfelt recollections that remind us that beyond the marquee lights and the award nights, actors are people who experience the same emotions as all of us.Lucy doesn't hold back as she discusses her personal struggles and triumphs. She candidly talks about her turbulent divorce and the resilience she discovered in its wake. She shares her journey through IVF and how it influenced her role as a stepmother. Wrapping up the conversation, Lucy talks about her love for art, her pre-pandemic travels, and the two things that distract her the most - Ryan Gosling and red velvet cake. Join us for this deeply human conversation that showcases the many facets of Lucy Briers' life beyond her glittering career.Tune in next week for more stories of 'Distinction & Genius' from The Good Listening To Show 'Clearing' Show Website: https://www.thegoodlisteningtoshow.com You can email me about the Show: chris@secondcurve.uk Twitter thatchrisgrimes LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/chris-grimes-actor-broadcaster-facilitator-coach/ FaceBook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/842056403204860 Don't forget to SUBSCRIBE & REVIEW wherever you get your Podcasts :) Thanks for listening!
