1. Mary Tuomanen 2. 3. Michelle Terry 4. 5. 6. Kathryn Hunter 7. Mark Rylance 8. Harriet Walter I wasn't aware of (1) - maybe I should add the restriction that it has to be on the UK stage. (3) is correct but I had forgotten about her, it wasn't the actor I was thinking of, so if anyone wants to add another go ahead. (7)(8) were the ones I was thinking of. Kathryn Hunter did play the two roles in (6) but could also be an answer to one of the others and then would have appeared twice, so she can only appear in one of those two places. |

These are correct:
1)
2) Fiona Shaw
3) Michelle Terry - but there's another
4)
5) Glenda Jackson (Kathryn Hunter also, but can't appear twice in the list)
6) Kathryn Hunter
7) Mark Rylance
8) Harriet Walter
(1) & (4) are tricky but the actors are well-known. The other answer for (3) is easier.

As an aside, I remember Kathryn Hunter playing Richard III - she was incredible in that role.

5) Glenda Jackson (Kathryn Hunter also)
6) Kathryn Hunter
7) Mark Rylance (Frances de la Tour also)
