Actor and academic Bella Merlin unveils her new book, Facing the Fear: An Actor's Guide to Overcoming Stage Fright, which explores what happens when (among other symptoms) actors forget their lines.

Joined by director Mike Alfreds (founder of Shared Experience) and neuroscientist Dr Catherine Loveday, she explores this misunderstood and often secretive condition, looking at the neuroscience of learning, the psychology of fear, and practical solutions to deal with performance nerves. 

Chaired by Edward Kemp, Artistic Director of RADA.
