Some of that history lives inside us, and every Elizabeth has the memory of the one before her, so she’s a little wiser, strong, and tougher each time. I kept thinking about the idea of osmosis the sense that our ancestors before us pass on experiences they’ve had, without us even knowing. So I worked really hard on building up the original Elizabeth’s character, trying to imagine what sort of upbringing she had, and her relationship to Henry when she was young. ĪL: Because I’m playing more than one version of myself, I really had to go back to the beginning and choose a clear back story for the character, that would inform the clones I play. SK: Elizabeth Harvest must have been a difficult role to get right, because you’re playing so many different versions of the same woman.

I hear you’re living in London now – how are you finding it?Ībbey Lee: I love the theatre here, and I’m in this amazing acting study group with really like-minded people, so I’ve definitely got a good reason to be here. Sirin Kale: Hi Abbey, thanks for talking with us.
