Our August/September cover star is the BAFTA-winning actress, bestselling memoirist and outrageously entertaining national treasure Miriam Margolyes. Her conversation with our editor-in-chief Roxy Bourdillon ranges wildly, spanning everything from her family history and the atrocities in Gaza to the joys of lesbian sex, and that time she posed for Vogue’s Pride Issue, nude aside from a pearl necklace and two strategically placed iced buns.
Here’s your teaser on what she had to say about this issue (which is available to order now at divadirect.info).
Miriam on…
Her sexuality: “I’m gay and I’m really pleased I am. I wouldn’t be straight for anything.”
The lesbian label: “I’m not ‘a lesbian’. That doesn’t define me. It should be an adjective, not a definitive.”
Her sex life: “I’ve had enough of sex now, but it was ever so good.”
