If you had the chance to meet a younger version of yourself right now, what would you say? Would you like the person you used to be? These are questions actor Alison Pill has given some serious thought to recently. Pill has appeared in HBO's The Newsroom, and in films such as Milk, Miss Sloane and Scott Pilgrim vs. The World. Currently, she's on Broadway starring in a revival of Edward Albee's play Three Tall Women, which has just been nominated for six Tony Awards.

The story of Three Tall Women follows a rich, elderly woman in bad health who's looking back on her life with help from her caregiver, and eventually two younger versions of herself. Co-starring in the production with Pill are Oscar-, Emmy- and Tony-winning actors Laurie Metcalfe and Glenda Jackson. Pill talks to Tom Power about sharing the stage with two industry juggernauts and how she grappled with her nerves.
