Maxine Peake on the red carpet at the 2013 BAFTA TV Awards
Don’t drink before an audition - odds are it won’t go well.
Peake, who is not a singer or a dancer, went in for a role that required both in Stephen Frears’ Mrs Henderson Presents. ‘My then-boyfriend said, “Come on, we’ll just go and have a little vodka orange to take the edge off.” Well, four vodka oranges later I rocked in, and you could see the kind of horror on the dance instructor’s face as I went at it. I think they were speechless!
