Screen Queenie: Dionne Brown On Bringing Candice Carty-Williams’s Beloved Twenty-Something Heroine To TV In Channel 4’s ‘Queenie’ Adaptation

“We’re all Queenie, a little bit,” says actor Dionne Brown, 28, who is about to set screens alight as the titular everywoman in Channel 4’s eight-part adaptation of Candice Carty-Williams’s bestselling novel. Equal parts gloriously messy, hysterically funny and painfully relatable, Queenie – a journalist in the throes of a quarter-life crisis – wasn’t just a dream role for the Londoner, but a revelatory one too.

“I didn’t kiss any boys in drama school,” she admits, “and then I kissed four in a short space of time. It’s a lot.” It’s not quite the future she envisioned: her mother is a reverend and provided “quite a religious upbringing”, though Brown always had a knack for performing, taking ballet, violin and piano lessons from a young age.
