A conversation about Sally's life which took her from a successful twenty-year career with Natwest Bank on Merseyside, where she eventually became manager of a branch. At age 36, the death of a friend and a cancer diagnosis for her mother was a moment of epiphany. She handed in her notice and decided to make her long-held passion for amateur theatre into a professional career. Twenty-two years later, Sally has achieved great success on stage and screen. We talk all about how she did it and highlights which include working with her hero Victoria Wood, appearing on Coronation Street and Little Britain and working with the Royal Shakespeare Company.
