Trying, starring Rafe Spall and Esther Smith shines a light on these so-called taboo topics, and does so with humor and sensitivity as it traces the lives of this very charming British couple.  Offscreen, Smith’s parents, both if them teachers, raised Esther and her sister Rachel in England’s West Midlands. Esther studied at the prestigious Guildford School of Acting before appearing in such British TV staples as Material Girl, Uncle, and Cuckoo.

Trying will help to break down that stigma?
