Sharon Horgan - ‘My marriage failed but it had such a positive impact on my life’

Sharon Horgan is a writer, actor and director. She has an uncanny ability to craft complex, compelling and heartfelt characters who find comedy even in the darkest of situations: just like in her hit series Bad Sisters - which has won a Peabody Award and four Emmy nominations. You’ll also know her from the BAFTA-nominated show Pulling, plus starring and writing in the critically-acclaimed shows Catastrophe and Motherland. Her failures include dropping out of art college and drama school, a failed audition and finally - a big one - her marriage. ✨ IN THIS EPISODE: 00:00 Intro 02:48 Balancing Work and Life 05:04 Making People Laugh 06:20 Portraying Eva in Bad Sisters 11:46 First Failure: Art College 17:10 Struggles and Resilience 21:03 Grief and Catharsis in Bad Sisters 24:13 A Beautiful Goodbye 24:37 The Wild Boyfriend and the Audition 26:33 The Audition Experience 28:12 Pursuing Acting and Writing 29:13 Building Confidence in the Industry 32:15 The End of a Marriage 35:30 Parenting After Divorce 40:29 Looking Forward: New Projects and Reflections Have something to share of your own?
