Unconventional Audition Techniques: Mia McKenna-Bruce's Journey to How To Have Sex and Agatha Christie's Seven Dials
Mia McKenna-Bruce, the lead actress in the murder mystery series Agatha Christie's Seven Dials on Netflix, shared the unique audition method that helped her land the role. She recently announced the BAFTA EE Rising Star Award nominees and won the award in 2024 for her role in How To Have Sex. The British nominees Posy Sterling, Archie Madekwe, and Robert Aramayo attended the ceremony, while American nominees Chase Infiniti and Miles Caton were absent. During a Q&A session, Mia discussed her audition experience for How To Have Sex, where she used an unconventional approach to portray a drunk character.
In the audition, Mia had to improvise and act drunk for the role of Tara in How To Have Sex. She shared that spinning around in a circle made her feel dizzy, which helped her play the drunk character convincingly. Mia's performance in How To Have Sex earned her critical acclaim and awards, including a British Independent Film Award and the BAFTA Rising Star Award. The drama received positive reviews and tells a story of three British teenage girls on a holiday exploring female adolescence.
Now, Mia stars as Lady Eileen 'Bundle' Brent in Agatha Christie's Seven Dials, a mystery series based on the author's novel. The show features a stellar cast including Helena Bonham Carter, Martin Freeman, and Nabhaan Rizwan. Set in 1925 England, the series follows Lady Eileen as she unravels a chilling plot at a country house party. Agatha Christie's Seven Dials promises to bring the Queen of Crime's thrilling story to life in a new version for Netflix. The series debuts on Netflix on January 15.
