Miriam has left her abusive husband and taken refuge with her children in the local supermarket where she works.
“I was in rehearsals for The Seagull by Anton Chekhov, and it was just two minutes before my entrance on stage, and a friend of mine called me and said, “you are nominee!” “What? No, it’s not possible.” “Yes, yes! You are!” “Oh my God!” Then I switched off my phone and went out on stage to do the play. After two hours on stage, I went back in my dressing room and I found my telephone. There were many e-mails and messages waiting for me. It was incredible!”
