Sarah's guest this week is the actress Niamh Cusack. Niamh originally trained as a professional flautist, performing with the RT脡 National Symphony Orchestra and Concert Orchestra, before pursuing a career in acting. She has played several roles for the Royal Shakespeare Company, including Desdemona in a production of Othello with Ben Kingsley, and opposite Sean Bean in the 1986 production of Romeo and Juliet. She came to the wider public's attention as Dr. Kate Rowan in the popular television drama series Heartbeat. On stage, she appeared in Victoria Benedictsson's The Enchantment at the Royal National Theatre, Andersen's English by Sebastian Barry, and Cause C茅l猫bre by Terence Rattigan at the Old Vic. More recently, at the Royal National Theatre, she played the role of Siobhan in the stage adaptation of Mark Haddon's book The Curious Incident of a Dog in the Night-Time, which won a record seven Olivier Awards in 2013.
