Lucy Jane Atkinson interview: “Is this a film? Is this a play? Where is that line?”

When I was taught to write interviews as I studied journalism, I was told to add some colour
to the opening. Talk about the room you’re in, the clothes your interviewee is wearing (I
don’t do this on principle as it’s only ever colourful about women) or your journey to get
there.

But of course, when I ‘meet’ director Lucy Jane Atkinson, we’re in different rooms. I can’t
really see her clothes as I am looking at a head and shoulders frame through Zoom and my
journey was one from my bedroom to the living room.
