Sheridan Smith nervous about taking on Hedda Gabler role

Everyone was delighted to hear the news that Sheridan Smith is returning to the West End to take on the title role in Hedda Gabler at The Old Vic this September. However she told Day & Night how nervous she is about taking on the role. She said  “I am so excited but also terrified. I think it’s the most scared I've been about a role. You have to push yourself out of your comfort zone and take risks. The key is to do your own version.”  

She also told them how she is constantly worried her success will come to an end. She said “I have to keep pinching myself and wondering how long will it last. I'm just so grateful to be in work, let alone to get such great jobs and people who trust me. You never know if you’re going to do well or not. You just have to do your best.”

This isn't Sheridan's only upcoming project, she will be appearing oppposite David Walliams as Titania in 'A Midsummer Night’s Dream'. She has also recently completed filming a number of films and television series so we won't be able to turn on our TV without being dazzled by Sheridan, and I don't think she has to worry about anything coming to a end just yet!

Below is the trailer for one of Sheridan's films, Hysteria.
