About The Make-Believe: A Memoir of Magic and Madness by Hannah Murray
Known for her acting work in Skins and Game of Thrones, Hannah Murray recounts a personal crisis that unfolded alongside a successful career. She describes the pressures of acting, including auditions and repeatedly performing violent scenes, and her search for relief through a reiki healer’s promised treatment.
The memoir follows Murray’s growing involvement with a London organisation built around claims of magic and secret knowledge. Its increasingly complex rituals draw her away from friends and family; later, detained in hospital, she struggles to distinguish what is real from what is imagined. The account addresses fame, mental illness and the damaging effects of a cult-like group.
Readers interested in actor memoirs, mental health, or accounts of involvement in high-control organisations may find this candid, intimate story especially relevant.
