Day 61 - An Actor's Choice No. 7

Continuing our thread of actors we love, talking about plays they love...

Here's Dundee Rep Ensemble's fabulous Ann Louise Ross talking about one of her favourite plays Ibsen's Peer Gynt, which she has performed in two different productions.

Here is Ann introducing why she loves the play:

And here is one of Ann's speeches from David Hare's 2019 Production Peter Gynt:
