Harriet Walter

Well, I said last week, didn't I, that I was going to re-read Rebecca because I haven't read it for years.

And I did, and I loved it on Audible, read by Harriet Walter.

But it was abridged.

I hadn't clocked that when I bought it on

Fanny is talking to Lucy Steele and they're doing something with feathers and Lucy Steele says... and she attacks her and pinches her by the nose and drags her onto a balcony.

I'm here for anything that Harriet Walter does, but I mean, it's broad.

That's okay.

I think you need the comedy though.

Housekeeper.

called the housekeeper which is from the house in there it's a complete reinterpretation of Rebecca so I thought well I'll start with I'll start with Rebecca it's um narrated by Harriet Walter so that can't go wrong with that can you that's my journey back today on the audible um and then I might you know then I shall go into the Rose Tremaine neck of the woods so that's my plan that's what I'm doing in

the shallow end uh rose tremaine's last book um it's not this one oh yes

um it's about grief about um no

Blissful.

Harriet Walter.

Yeah.

No, I mean, there's a parade of people.

Harriet Walter makes everything better.

Yes.

Mm-hmm.

We'll speak about that, but we also want to talk about the new legal duties for employers when it comes to the menopause.

Also, Dame Harriet Walter will be here to talk about bringing an all female prison set Shakespeare to secondary schools.

Now, one review I read said you could hear a pin drop in a hall full of teenagers.

Impressive.

84844 if you would like to get in touch.

Now, just as I was reading those comments, couple of women came into my studio.

Because the Royal Shakespeare Company's revival of Phyllida Lloyd's all-female Julius Caesar, set in a women's prison, is now touring secondary schools, with Dame Harriet Walter reprising her role as Brutus, Caesar's close friend, and of course, ultimate betrayer.

It is unusual in many respects.

Now, on Monday, the Royal Shakespeare Company's revival of Phyllida Lloyd's all-female Julius Caesar, set in a women's prison, is touring secondary schools.

Nula will be talking to Dame Harriet Walter, who plays Brutus, and Rachel Frank, a criminal justice associate.

And she'll be discussing menopause action plans with the chair of the Equality and Human Rights Commission, Mary Ann Stevenson.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
