Show notes

Think you love Gerri from Succession? You’ve got to see this! J. Smith-Cameron has become a household name thanks to her stellar performance in all 4 seasons of Succession. But before Waystar and the Roys, J. was a firm favourite on and off Broadway. In this special bonus episode of Hear Me out, recorded days before the season finale of Succession airs, J. talks to Lucy about her favourite speech from Sean O’Casey’s classic ‘Juno and the Paycock’. And yes, of course they also delve into the end of - as Lucy puts it - “a perfect piece of television.” Is there room for a sequel (Succession the Movie)?? Have the cast all said goodbye? And was it really as wonderful as we all hope?

Hear Me Out is hosted by Lucy Eaton, a theatre producer and West End & screen actress best known for her role as Lucy in hit comedy ‘Staged’. Other episodes of Hear Me Out include Toby Stephens, Richard Eyre, Sanjeev Bhaskar and Joanna Vanderham.

Theatre royalty Sir Richard Eyre joins the show to discuss Shakespeare’s King Lear, in particular the ‘Come, let's away to prison’ speech.
