Clare Barry, a talented actress, embarked on a theatrical journey after training at the prestigious Webber Douglas Academy. She honed her craft in London's fringe scene, before expanding her repertoire to venues across Britain, Ireland, Austria, and Germany. For a decade, Clare co-ran a theatre company, touring the UK, Ireland, Austria, and Germany, and even performing at the North American International Fringe Festival circuit, gracing stages in Tampa Bay, Winnipeg, Saskatoon, and Edmonton.
Clare's professional relationships led her to collaborate with renowned Producer Becky Finlay-Hall, Olive Branch Theatre Company, and later, Broke But Making Films. During the rehearsal period of Kapital (2007),Clare played a deceased character, a role that paved the way for her subsequent casting in SSDD (2010). In this production, she brought Lynn, the matriarchal landlady of the Magpie Pub, to life with a tragic yet comical performance.
In addition to her acting career, Clare has also worked as a director, most notably for Illyria Theatre. This opportunity allowed her to take on the iconic role of "Jack Worthing" in The Importance of Being Earnest, as well as direct their adaptation of Pride & Prejudice. Her impressive body of work has led to collaborations with various companies, and she has even appeared on Coronation Street.
Clare's most recent project, the self-penned one-woman monologue Becoming Mum: A Cautionary Tale, has been performed at the North Devon Fringe Festival, showcasing her remarkable talent and versatility as a performer.
