Meet the characters!

With the production drawing closer, we wanted to give you all the opportunity to get to know the characters a little bit more! So without further a do...

Nathan: A Cambridge University graduate, Nathan is focused, inventive, charismatic and intelligent. While working briefly in advertising in London, Nathan wrote his first novel: The Conjurer, which was released to critical acclaim. Nathan derives intellectual fulfilment from his novels and believes that the success of the series is based on the public’s fascination with espionage. Nathan is appreciative of the opportunities fame has afforded him and particularly enjoys visiting Asia as well as watching opera. He also frequently visits his family in Peterborough. 

The Interviewer: The interviewer is a bit of a mystery.  Although he is well-known for presenting “Spoken Word”, we are told very little else about him. We don’t even know his name. He is clearly the kind of person that likes to keep the attention on his guests rather than himself. The only clues he gives us about himself are hidden within the lines themselves and in his reactions. We know that he very intelligent, very observant and has a sense for a story.  He likes to do a lot of preparation before an interview and doesn’t like to be caught out. He has not got to where he is by accident.

The Publisher: Known by everyone as 'J', Jessica is a young hard working, ambitious, cut-throat publisher. She has supported Nathan throughout his entire writing career, and has become very fond of him. She protects those who she cares about, and is not someone you would want to cross. While she has a tender side, her work and ambition always takes priority. Failure is not an option for Jessica. She has brilliant instinct and intuition, and you can always count on her to tell you the truth. Most of all, if Jessica believes in someone, she will stand by their side and support them. 

Lee: Lee studied History at Manchester University and, after graduating with a 2:1, he decided to follow his passion for writing and began working on a selection of stories. To support his writing he has worked in a variety of jobs, including as a telephone banking assistant and a barman. He is constantly writing and hopes to one day get a publishing contract.

Hope you enjoyed meeting the gang!
