4 Extra Debut. Theatre School founder and drama teacher Anna Scher shares her castaway choices with Kirsty Young.
It's more than 40 years since she set up her theatre school and it has launched the careers of Kathy Burke, Martin Kemp, Pauline Quirke and Patsy Palmer to name just a few. It started out as a lunchtime drama club, nd very quickly grew. Anna Scher says: "There were enormous classes - about seventy in a class - and a lot of those pupils were non-readers and so I fell into improvisation by chance. I found that it was a very effective way of character training."
From November 2011.
