Antoine Fuqua on Emancipation, NDAs in film and TV casting, playwright April De Angelis.

Film director Antoine Fuqua on Emancipation, which stars Will Smith, and new guidance on using NDAs for actors' auditions.

Film director Antoine Fuqua discusses his new film, Emancipation, which stars Will Smith.  He discusses basing  his film on the true story of an enslaved man in 1860s Louisiana.  

Earlier this year, Front Row revealed how non-disclosure agreements were being misused in film and TV casting, with actors being kept in the dark about the roles they were auditioning for. The actor’s union Equity has come up with new guidance on NDAs. Carolyn Atkinson explains what this means for auditions. 

April De Angelis discusses her new play Kerry Jackson, which is at the National Theatre in London.   Starring Faye Ripley in the title role of café owner Kerry, it explores class and gentrification.
