Edi Stark talks to one of Scotland’s best loved stage and screen actresses.

Edi Stark talks to Elaine C Smith about how she became one of Scotland’s best loved stage and screen actresses, despite having only been to the theatre once when she went to drama school. She explains why making other people laugh helps her avoid her own dark side and how being on stage is a healing place in times of personal struggle. A stalwart of pantomime, she tells Edi about hating her first pantomime role, how hard it has been to be taken seriously as an actress and where she was when she won Scottish Bafta for best actress last year. She talks candidly and hilariously about marriage and family life in this wide ranging, fascinating glimpse behind the stage curtain.
