Info: Born in Cork in 1957, she attended a fine arts college and graduated in 1978. Since then, she has worked as an actress for theatre and film. She began writing her own plays early on. In the early 90s, she acted with the Rough Magic Theatre Company, which increasingly worked to promote new plays and contemporary authors. With this group, she debuted her commissioned work “Danti-Dan,” which – like the works that followed – was soon staged in many countries abroad, including Germany. Another of her famous works is her youth play “Dog House,” a commissioned work for the National Theatre of London that has been staged by numerous youth theatres. She does not write nice plays, she says; her plays expose the inner depths of underdogs, lost and forgotten souls with caustic humor and without sentimentality. She has also written a number of radio plays for Irish radio, and she recently began releasing short stories. In 2007, she earned the degree Master of Philosophy in creative writing at Trinity College in Dublin. A radio play and a theatre text count among her current works in progress.
