Clare was bitten by the acting bug at a young age, from her beginnings as ‘The River’ in a ‘contemporary’ nativity play to Miss Adelaide in Collingwood’s Guys and Dolls.

A few LAMDA exams, GCSE’s and A levels later Clare read English, Film and Media at The University of Stirling. Whilst ‘studying’ she was an avid member, and later president, of their under-funded but passionate drama society who produced The Importance of Being Earnest and Abigail’s Party and took Philadelphia, Here I come to the Nice Theatre Festival…ooh la lah! Upon graduating she joined CAMUS, first playing Chava in Fiddler on the Roof followed by a backing singer in Chess. She is thrilled and overwhelmed to be playing the Baker’s Wife in this production of Into the Woods.
