There’s a lot of politics in it. How do you feel about the political establishment?
I don’t have a lot of faith left in it. I think going to war in Iraq was where my faith in the political process began to be torn apart.
Is it time for change in this country?
We need someone who can see a new world order and give us back a belief in the democratic system, so we have a voice and that voice is being represented in parliament.
Do you think Midnight Man might make a difference?
I hope this drama will be thought provoking. The script was terribly relevant so it was exciting to read because you felt you were going to be a part of a drama that wasn’t just to entertain; that there was a point and a message there.
Alice is an unlikely accomplice for Mx, isn't she?
She believes in the military covenant and believes it is being eroded away. She has a brother in Afghanistan which is one of her main motivations for being so interested in the area she is involved in.
But her mind is changed...
Yes, she begins to discover certain practices going on within Defence Concern that don’t make any sense in light of of what their organisation stands for. So she becomes embroiled slowly through the meeting with Max Raban in investigating an undercover conspiracy plot. She discovers the company she is working for is just a front. It is not what she thought it was.
And she is a mistress who has a change of heart
Alice has been having an affair with the head of Defence Concern, Daniel Cosgrave. She knows he is married, but she has fallen in love with him. But as she begins to become involved with Max Raban she discovers Daniel has been lying to her too. She’s a woman of honour and belief. She is shaken to the core when she finds out what she has been working for is not what she thought it was.
So she teams up with Max…
Yes, she’s left very lost and has to really decide to go on this journey with Max to find out the truth even though everything would be easier for her if she just put her head down and carried on doing what she believed in.
