Please keep hiring me.
It's like, keep paying my gas bill.
Thanks so much.
But yeah, it's a comedy that then morphs into a drama in some ways.
Like, I think my character, Maggie, is a playwright who has bipolar disorder.
It was written by one of my best friends, Camilla Whitelaw.
I've known her 17 years this year, which is crazy.
I think we always wanted to work together.
We met at drama school.
She was training as an actor.
Left was like, I hate this.
And I want to cover myself in tattoos and dye my hair mad colors, which is harder to do if you're an actor.
And she wrote a short play in this like small competition.
And it was so funny and brilliant.
And I was like, oh, she's going to be a famous writer.
That completely makes sense.
And then, yeah, we always wanted to do something together.
Yeah, it was one of those jobs where I never sort of agreed to do it.
It just morphed and happened.
And yeah, I just, I've loved being part of it.
