"Stacy Martin is not a religious person. Still, the actor insists things have happened in her life that have made her realise there's a whole expanse of things that are unexplainable. Once, at home in north London, she noticed a lightbulb flickering. She couldn't solve the mystery: no matter how many times she changed it, the bulb continued to blink. Instead of consulting the internet, Martin went to see her psychic, a tea leaf reader she meets annually, booking in under a fake name."
"The psychic suggested that someone was trying to communicate with her. I was like: What if I just start talking to this person that apparently wants to talk to me?' says Martin. And so I did. And that light never flickered again. Martin prefers not to use the word ghost, but she's aware there are things the mind can't make sense of; things the body somehow knows."
Stacy Martin is not religious but reports unexplainable events, including a persistently flickering lightbulb that ceased after she consulted a psychic and spoke to an apparent communicator. She prefers not to call the phenomenon a ghost, acknowledging limits of the mind and bodily knowing. Martin appears in The Testament of Ann Lee as Mother Jane Wardley, the Shaking Quaker who guided Ann Lee. The film, co-written by Mona Fastvold and Brady Corbet, features Amanda Seyfried as Ann Lee, ecstatic song-and-dance devotion, a score by Daniel Blumberg, and choreography by Celia Rowlson-Hall. Martin seeks roles that transgress audience expectations.
