Ep 95: Focusing Your Mind To Create - Megan Prescott (Actress / Writer)


Listen Later

Megan Prescott is an Actor and writer who starred as Katie Fitch in the Bafta-winning Channel four drama ‘Skins’. Since her time on ‘Skins,’ Megan has turned her focus more to writing and has worked for Balloon Entertainment as part of the development team as well as interning at Fox Studios in Los Angeles.
In 2020, Megan was offered a place at Soho theatre’s writing lab and in early 2021 was offered a place on the Bush theatre’s West London Playwrights Group. Through these two courses, Megan will be writing her first theatre production, which explores sex workers rights and just how damaging the current legislation is in regards to the stigma and violence workers face.
A decade after being thrown into the acting industry in a pre #MeToo era and at the age of just 15, Megan has worked in an extremely wide variety of industries - from being a nanny to Pro Bodybuilder to security guard. She now works part time as a marketing manager while she writes her theatre production.
