About this episode

Indira Varma joins Jessie Ware for brunch, discussing her upbringing, culinary influences, and experiences in theatre.

This week the brilliant Indira Varma joins us for brunch. Known for her roles in Game of Thrones, The Night Manager, The Capture and now starring in the all-female production of Glengarry Glen Ross at The Old Vic, Indira popped over to New Cross and immediately became one of our dream foodie guests! We heard all about growing up in Bath with an Indian father and Swiss mother, the cabbage and peanut curry her dad taught her to make, working with friend of the podcast Ralph Fiennes, how theatre still gives her a thrill after all these years, and we are reminded of the best tip from Stanley Tucci when it comes to drinking cocktails! Plus Indira takes us through a spectacular last supper featuring deep-fried ricotta, spaghetti vongole, Swiss fondue and an ice cream finale. Don’t miss Indira starring in Glengarry Glen Ross at The Old Vic until 18th July, she is absolutely excellent in it.
