Michaela Coel tackles urgent subjects with zany seriousness and savage humour
the Edinburgh Television Festival, one of the highlights of the industry’s calendar, invites a prominent figure to deliver a talk known as the MacTaggart lecture. Past speakers have included Rupert Murdoch, Eric Schmidt and Armando Iannucci. In 2018 Michaela Coel, a British writer and actor, took to the podium. She was the first woman from an ethnic minority to do so and, at 30, the youngest lecturer in the festival’s history.
Talking over Zoom, she evinces the same mix of gravity and zaniness, thoughtful pauses alternating with peals of laughter. This jolting blend of moods defines her work, too. Ms Coel draws on her own experiences to fashion compelling, surprising narratives, which tackle solemn subjects with a dizzying lightness of touch. Her stories provoke horror in viewers one moment and mirth the next.
