“I love it because it is home and I know everyone.'
IT is fair to say that Dawn Steele is a straight talker. Whether extolling the joys of cold-water swimming or discussing how having a stroke in her late 30s changed her outlook on life, the Glasgow-born actor speaks with unwavering candour.
As research for the part, the actor picked the brains of a real-life police detective – a woman whose daughter goes to the same dancing class as Steele’s 11-year-old daughter Coco. “I will always work in Scotland,” she says. “I love it because it is home and I know everyone. It is nice because you walk onto a set and there are so many crew who have been part of your life over the years – our lighting guy Stuart was on Monarch of the Glen with me.”
“I might be a bit old for it now as it was written quite a while ago, but I know Denise was trying to get that made for years. That would be amazing to see on screen. “I love her writing. Hamnet has stayed with me. I think about it most days. I found it so moving how she depicted grief. The Royal Shakespeare Company is doing it next year at Stratford-upon-Avon. I am excited to see how they bring it to the stage.
Steele is sanguine as she reflects now. “I didn’t die. I could have been learning how to walk again. I could have lost my speech. It could have been horrendous. It turned out I had a hole in my heart that I have had since I was born but didn’t know about and that’s what caused the stroke.”
