PAOLA DIONISOTTI: Okay! Well I was born in Turin in Northern Italy. My family moved to England when I was just two. My parents, determined that we should have the best possible education sent my two sisters and myself to a highly academic school &#; sadly academia was not my comfort zone. But I did have inspirational teachers of English who introduced me to Shakespeare. I was hooked! By the time I left, I had assayed Titania, Feste, Henry V, Hamlet, Mark Antony, Touchstone, Falstaff and Cleopatra! No gap year for me, I went straight on to train under Yat Malmgren, John Blatchley and Christopher Fettes, at the newly formed Drama Centre London.
