Growing up, I was always the minority in the room, even in my own immediate family, who were all white. So it became the norm for me to see white faces everywhere.

I thought that was an absolutely outstanding job to have.” When she subsequently worked at the RSC her early supposition was proved correct: “It was as excellent as I thought it would be.
