We chatted to the excellent Andrea Riseborough who has an impressive array of films that includes the Tom Cruise starrer, ‘Oblivion’, director Alejandro G Inarritu’s ‘Birdman’, the hilariously quirky Brit comedy’ Mindhorn‘, horror film, ‘Possessor’ and the recent all star film, ‘Amsterdam’. In Matilda the Musical she plays Matilda’s mother Mrs Wormwood alongside Stephen Graham as Mr Wormwood a pair of grotesque nouveau riche parents with little regard for their own daughter.
