The project

A little behind the scenes.

Playing Zed with Sam gave me room for big laughs, strange little moments and a story that stayed with me.

Hi friends, Anna here. In The Yesterday Show, I played Zed, a time traveller with a lot to say about the future. Sam played the host of a late-night talk show. Put those two in a room and things get interesting pretty quickly.

I loved finding Zed’s rhythm. She could be awkward and funny, then suddenly very sincere. Sam and I played with timing, improvised, and gave the quieter moments space to land.

The croissant jokes and the warnings about humanity lived in the same show. That mix made the audience lean in. I still think about how a laugh can open the door to a bigger conversation.
