\"guardian18a\"<\/a>The singer and actor, who is starring in a stage version of Derek Jarman\u2019s punk movie Jubilee, will answer your questions at 1.30pm GMT on Monday 22 January<\/p>\n

Toyah Willcox is not a woman to be pinned down. A singer, actor, TV presenter and stock market magnate, she has been a permanent fixture in British culture since the age of 19, when she played flame-haired pyromaniac Mad in Derek Jarman\u2019s 1978 punk film Jubilee.<\/p>\n

Since then, she has recorded 24 albums and had 13 Top 40 singles, including It\u2019s a Mystery and I Want to Be Free. She has also appeared in more than 40 plays and 15 films, including Quadrophenia, The Ebony Tower (opposite Laurence Olivier) and The Corn is Green (with Katharine Hepburn). On TV, she\u2019s been a religious affairs reporter for The Heaven and Earth Show, narrated Teletubbies and done a stint on I\u2019m a Celebrity \u2026 Get Me Out of Here!<\/p>\n

Now, she is returning to Jubilee in a new stage adaptation at the Lyric Hammersmith in London. She takes on the role of the time-travelling queen who arrives in a dystopia where a new generation seethes with anger at the establishment. \u201cAt the time it was made, it was utterly outrageous,\u201d Willcox has said of the original film, describing it as a story of \u201cwomen who are trying to kind of kill everything that controls them or that has exploited them \u2026 It\u2019s a very resonant story today. Nothing\u2019s changed except the technology.\u201d<\/p>\n
