Zawe Ashton continues to delight and amaze us with the variety and complexity of the roles she plays across theatre, film and television. In her debut book, a memoir called Character Breakdown, she discusses the nature of performance, not just in an actor’s life, but in all our lives. We talk to her about her life and career, from her earliest days as a child actor to her current life as writer, director and multi-talented performer.
