This episode, Darren sits down with acclaimed stage and screen actor JJ Feild.

Currently starring in the world premiere of Ben Ockrent's darkly comic family drama Relics at the Lyric Hammersmith, JJ discusses the appeal of the play, its exploration of family dynamics and the secrets we inherit.

The conversation also takes a broader look at his remarkable career, from returning to the stage as Oberon and Theseus in A Midsummer Night's Dream at the Bridge Theatre to his work on major screen productions including Jack Ryan, Captain America: The First Avenger, Telstar and Lost in Space.

JJ reflects on the roles that have shaped him, what he looks for in a script, the differences between theatre and screen acting, and the importance of continuing to challenge himself as a performer.

A warm, thoughtful and insightful conversation with one of Britain's most versatile actors.
