Working with a theatre company for women affected by criminal justice has given the actor a passion for stories that fall between society’s cracks. Now she is swapping Broadway for a powerful account of Britain’s broken prison systemEach morning before filming Lollipop, Posy Sterling took a giant bucket outside, filled it with ice and climbed in.
