CONVERSATION WITH NICOLA COUGHLAN

Moderated by Delphine Rivet, series journalist and gender editor for Konbini

The conversation will be lead in English, translated in French. 

During CANNESERIES, Konbini will award a prize to a talent actively making a change well beyond television.

Celebrated worldwide for her nuanced portrayal of Penelope Featherington in Bridgerton, she is also a strong advocate for human rights. From the fight for abortion rights in Ireland, to the defense of refugees and Palestinian children rights or the fight against body-shaming: Nicola Coughlan is fiercely rising up against injustice. Her very sharp sense of style, her intelligence and her biting humor are just some of the many weapons she has to carry the voices of those who’ve been silenced.

Through her roles and public statements, an entire generation has fallen for Nicola Coughlan. The values she’s fighting for are also those of Konbini, and that’s why her career will be honoured during a masterclass on April 28.
