What's in my dressing room? – Emily Joyce

Emily Joyce plays Judy in The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time at the Gielgud Theatre.

Her previous theatre credits include Happy Now? (National Theatre), Twelfth Night, Love’s Labour’s Lost and A Christmas Carol (RSC), Yes, Prime Minister (West End)

We caught up with her to find out which five things in her dressing room she couldn't live without.

The Dressing Room…

The sweetie jar…

EJ: Balanced out with nuts and raisins. I'm a sucker for sweets, if you pardon the pun, but I am also very good at sharing.

The make up…

EJ: Wearing make-up every day can take it's toll on your skin, but I find Bare Minerals helps to look after it. My mum bought me the Jo Malone hand cream and I use it every evening. It's become my signature smell.

The workout gear…

EJ: We do half an hour of physical work before each show to make sure our bodies are properly warmed up and to retain our body strength.

The H2O…

EJ: I drink at least a litre during the show. As I said, the play is incredibly physical and vocally demanding so water is an absolute must.

The photo of my kids…

EJ: Taken a few years ago now. I miss them very much in the evenings when I'm at work, but they manage brilliantly & are hugely supportive.
