Over the last few years, Rosie Sheehy has established herself as a force to reckon with. Her latest role sees her making her Royal Court Theatre debut in Luke Norris' Guess How Much I Love You? The new play explores what it means to be in a long term relationship and the difficult choices that come with being in love. She'll be starring opposite Robert Aramayo and Lena Kaur, and we hear her talk affectionately about Luke's writing as well as Jeremy Herrin's masterful direction. Having previously performed at the Old Vic, the National Theatre and the RSC, we hear Rosie share her excitement at being at the Royal Court to debut what is expected to be a searing drama from Luke Norris.

In this brand new interview, Rosie Sheehy discusses with us how she balances the light and shade in all her roles and how it's been a joy to develop her character in Guess How Much I Love You? We talk about her Port Talbot roots and look back on some of her recent roles such as her Olivier Award nominated performance as the young woman in Machinal and her heartbreaking role as Julie in Gary Owen's Romeo and Julie. During our conversation, we also talk about Oleanna and her recent reunion with Harry Lighton on his acclaimed new film: Pillion. During our conversation, Rosie tells us how a lot of these dark stories are often still about love and how it can be presented in so many different forms. It's a fascinating conversation as she prepares to begin performances for her latest project which is expected to be another emotional ride.

Guess How Much I Love You? runs at the Royal Court Theatre from 16 January - 21 February.
