Clare Barry(I)
- Actress
After training at the Webber Douglas Academy, actress Clare Barry
carved a strong background in theatre performances from the London
fringe, across Britain to overseas. She ran co-ran a theatre company
for ten years touring the UK, Ireland, Austria and Germany then onto
the North American International Fringe Festival circuit performing at
festivals in Tampa Bay, Winnipeg, Saskatoon and Edmonton. After working
with Producer Becky Finlay-Hall (Olive Branch Theatre Company), she
joined the team at Broke But Making Films to work during the rehearsal
period on Kapital (2007) as a deceased character. This relationship led
her to being cast in SSDD (2010) where she created Lynn, the
matriarchal landlady of the Magpie Pub, a tragic yet comical
performance. Clare has also worked as actor and director, notably for
Illyria Theatre, which gave her the opportunity to play "Jack Worthing"
in The Importance of Being Earnest and to direct their adaptation of
Pride & Prejudice, which led to further work with other companies. Her
television work includes Coronation Street. Her most recent performance
includes the self penned one-woman monologue Becoming Mum: A Cautionary
Tale, most recently performed at the North Devon Fringe Festival.
