In this episode of The Stress Sessions, we’re lifting the curtain on the reality of men’s mental health in the world of stage and screen. 🎙️ I sat down with the brilliant Peter Ash – best known for his powerful performance in Coronation Street and now touring with Picture You Dead – to talk about the emotional demands of acting, living with rejection, and how creativity can be therapy.
Peter opens up about:
🎭 Mentally preparing for dark roles
🧠 How acting supports his own mental health
💔 The emotional toll of portraying illness on screen
💡 Why support networks in theatre are more vital than ever
🗣️ And what advice he'd give to struggling performers
His honesty is a reminder that behind every standing ovation is a human being who’s navigating life, just like the rest of us.
