Bethany
Wilkins
Bethany Wilkins (21) makes her début appearance in a motion
picture to play the lead role of Sarah Johnson; a character that
she readily admits has had a lasting effect on her. "It was a
terrifying and exciting experience all at the same time",
Bethany explains, "I began to really get to know Sarah, I felt
for her and came to understand her."
Bethany, whose acting experience only goes as far as a drama
GCSE and a couple of parts in Pantomime, found the experience
both challenging and rewarding. “This was a big leap from
playing Wendy in Peter Pan! Sarah is a deep character holding
onto a lot of pent-up emotional baggage. She has always tried to
protect her family from the reality of their father’s death and
the unravelling of the truth has a huge impact on her and her
siblings. I had to dig deep into my own experiences and emotions
to find Sarah, but when I did, I truly came to understand her”. |
