- Mbatha-Raw will be playing 17th century actress and mistress to King Charles II, Nell Gwynn
- Playwright Jessica Swale and Gugu have been friends for over 10 years and Gugu is crashing with Swale during the play
- Swale added a bunch of female parts to her play after realizing she had more male parts in order to create a better gender balance
- Gwynn was a white woman irl but Swale says that's not important and is pro colour blind casting based on talent
- Gugu says that right now she is attracted to roles about irl people
- Talks a bit about playing a CGI feather duster in Beauty and the Beast (OP note: She should be Belle)
