‘It feels completely normal’: Imelda Staunton reflects on acting with her daughter

Imelda Staunton says acting on stage alongside her daughter Bessie Carter feels “completely normal.”

The pair are working together for the first time in George Bernard Shaw’s Mrs Warren’s Profession at the Garrick Theatre, playing a mother and daughter.

“It’s weird that it just feels normal,” Staunton told the BBC’s Laura Kuenssberg in an interview aired on Sunday (25 May).

“It’s a wonderful play, a difficult play, and so we've had sleepless nights and phone each other,” she said.

“It feels like we've sort of done it before, even though we never have,” Carter added.
