Episode 8: Well, this episode is an absolute treat as earlier this month Evie was lucky enough to interview star of stage and screen, the utterly incredible, Mr Mat Fraser.
Mat, who has a physical disability, has been at the centre of British culture for the past 35 years. Immediately recognisable for his performance work in such shows as American Horror Story and His Dark Materials, Mat is also well known and greatly respected as a staunch advocate for the disabled community.
Through this wonderful conversation Evie and Mat talk about many issues related to disability, including growing up as a ‘Bornie’, the education system, and being an actor. Mat also explains how he created the ground breaking BBC Four series ‘Criptales’, a powerful television project written and performed by disabled people.
This is a sparkling conversation full of fun, humour, and love of life.
There is a reason Mat Fraser is considered a national treasure, his generosity of spirit, his kindness, his talent, and his complete commitment to the disabled community, which he clearly adores, that quite simply knows no bounds!
Thank you, Mat. It was a complete joy and privilege to meet and talk with you.
