Joanna Page

Joanna Page: Lush!

From a small village on the outskirts of Swansea to the sets of some of the all-time greatest movies and TV shows – like Love Actually and Gavin & Stacey Joanna Page’s journey to stardom has been extraordinary.

In this funny, candid and endlessly surprising memoir, Joanna shares her story in full for the first time. Inside, she will take readers behind the scenes of her most iconic roles and introduce them to a colourful cast, including Ruth Jones, James Corden, Richard E. Grant, Johnny Depp, Liam Neeson and Emma Thompson. Joanna will also detail her early life growing up in Treboeth on the glorious South Wales coastline – a life (not unlike Stacey Shipman’s) filled with family and friendly neighbours – to the sudden shock of moving to London at 18 (totally alone) to take her place at RADA, one of the most prestigious performing arts schools in the world.

Whether it’s navigating early awkward auditions and other uncomfortable incidents,chasing her big break, riding success (sometimes literally), falling in love, discovering the magic and madness of life as a mum-of-four, Joanna will speak openly about what it really takes to make it in the acting world while staying true to yourself.

Lush! is a celebration of finding your voice, holding your ground and learning to laugh at the messiest, most beautiful moments life has to offer.
