Liv Hill is 1536 shades of smashing
3w ago00:26:51Tap to summarizeActor Liv Hill made her TV debut in the BBC’s remarkable Three Girls back in 2017, aged just 16. She’s currently playing Jane in Ava Pickett’s astonishing play 1536, in which three Tudor friends face the echoes of Ann Boleyn’s trial and beheading in their own rural lives. It’s a sharp and powerful portrayal of misogyny that also crackles with humour and the joy of female friendship. Mick chats to Liv about female friendships, trickle down politics, ugly choices, powerful roles, and playing a young Glenda Jackson. 1536 is at the Ambassadors in London’s West End until August 1.
