Patsy's conversation with Mike Alfreds brought tears to my eyes. Quite literally. But they were the tears of someone who had felt himself to be alone, only to discover he was among friends.

Reminded me of the great mentors and tutors I have come across. Exactly what I needed to hear going into a teaching job in the BA level arts. Inspirational thoughts.

I’m delighted she is doing this series and I hope it runs and runs. Just hearing her speak is comfort to the fearful actor— or anyone who hasn’t yet accessed their presence.
