Norton, known for roles in A Little Life, Happy Valley, and Joy, will be in conversation with actress and long-time friend Claire Cartwright. The discussion will cover Norton’s journey from his early acting days in Yorkshire to his current career on stage and screen – including an Audience Q&A
James Norton : “Standing in the wings waiting to go on stage you get to see an army of incredibly skilled people at work who don’t get a round of applause at the end. Without these people the show does not go on. The theatre is such a massive part of our culture in the UK and brings so much to so many. Supporting the people who are integral to the industry is a no brainer. The work that TTG do for those working Backstage and Front of House is essential and I am delighted to help by taking part in their “An Audience With” series, to raise money for the charity. I love a good natter anyway ! ”
Claire Cartwright : “As an actress and TTG Trustee I’ve seen the incredible work the Backstage and Front of House teams do within the theatre and the importance of supporting that community when they need it most. Chatting to one of my oldest friends to raise money for a cause I believe deeply in, is a dream scenario. TTG helps the people who ensure millions of people enjoy visiting UK theatres every year. They are precious and must be treated as such.”
