Today Elaine chats with the utterly brilliant and joyful Louise McCarthy. We talk being Scottish and training in London, being working class in this industry, being an actor and a mum and how to balance that. We also talk about being true to yourself. A brilliant, fun chat with an even more brilliant human. LOUISE McCARTHYTraining: Arts Educational London.
