Liza Marshall, the BAFTA-winning and Oscar-nominated producer of Hamnet and Founder of Hera Pictures, joins Ben Woolley along with writer and journalist Bee Rowlatt (One Woman Crime Wave), to discuss how historical drama (and sex scandal) can be transformed into a screen sensation.

Ben is a historian and author of The King’s Assassin: The Fatal Affair of George Villiers and James I, which was adapted into the sizzling 17th-century drama Mary & George, produced by Hera Pictures in association with Sky Studios for Sky Atlantic, starring Julianne Moore and Nicholas Galitzine.
