After a 2 year delay, Francesca Martinez' brand new play All Of Us is finally arriving to the National Theatre. One of it's stars is Francesca Mills, who joins us for this very special interview to talk about the experience of developing this show with Francesca Martinez and director: Ian Rickson. She previously starred in A Pacifist's Guide to the War on Cancer in the Dorfman Theatre where All Of Us is set to play. As Poppy, Francesca hopes to give voice to an angry society, who are frustrated with the inequalities in society and who have been neglected during the pandemic. With the industry slowly changing and trying to give voice to disabled people's experiences, All Of Us should strike a chord with all audiences with Martinez's script encouraging empathy and hope for the future.
In this new interview, Francesca Mills talks candidly about returning to the National Theatre, after a pause due to the pandemic. She tells us about the experience of reuniting with many of the same cast from the 2020 run and how joyful it's been working under Ian Rickson and Francesca Martinez. Audiences will probably be aware of Francesca's work on screen, playing Cherry Donnington in Harlots and is about to be seen in The Witcher: Blood Origin on Netflix. Still, she insists that it is theatre that she is in love with and prefers doing, getting to connect with audiences in an intimate space like the Dorfman Theatre. We also get a glimpse of Francesca Mills' personality outside of acting and she shares her gratitude for the experiences offered to her as well her career aspirations too.
All Of Us officially opens on Thursday 4th August at the Dorfman Theatre, National Theatre and tickets are on sale now!
