Marta Dusseldorp is one of Australia’s best known and loved actors. From stage to screen, and now with production credits to boot. 

Dusseldorp’s latest project, Bay of Fire, premieres tomorrow night on ABC TV and is filmed on the west coast of Tasmania, a place that Dusseldorp herself discovered in the depths of the pandemic. 

In this chat with Jamila Rizvi, Marta explains the impact of the pandemic on Australian artists and takes us on the journey of stepping into a new character.
