Gemma Knight Jones

Prompt

Gemma Knight Jones is the ultimate West End queen; A talented mama who is always grafting and endlessly optimistic.

Gemma and I were pregnant together on a fast-paced West End show, an experience that truly bonded us, and then we came together again shortly before I left stage management permanently.

I really wanted to chat to her about motherhood in the arts and how she was still managing to fully slay onstage whilst also raising her child. Something which any parent listening will agree is no easy task.

When I listened to this back I realised it was more of a chat than an interview so I hope you can get comfortable and tune into this conversation which covers pregnancy, illness, optimism and how to stay awake onstage.
