Masterclass - James McAvoy

Each month, Artistic Director and renowned Scottish actor, Shauna Macdonald, hosts a conversation with a different distinguished guest, who will tell you all they know about their craft. You are part of the conversation and are invited to ask questions throughout.

The aim of these sessions is to inspire as many people as possible and to provide deeper insights into the Arts and the theatre, film and television industry. Edinburgh Youth Theatre has reached out to industry professionals to take part in their fundraising event series for youth arts, and they have really stepped up!
