Friedman, whose journey with Merrily We Roll Along dates back to the early 90s, when she played Mary, directed revivals of the show in London and on Broadway. Maria talks to us about her approach to directing the filmed version of the show, and tells us what she hopes audiences take away from the show's approach to empathy and forgiveness.
