Join BAFTA award-winning actress Siobhán McSweeney for a Masterclass that is sure to be 🔥! Siobhán is perhaps best known to audiences as Sister Michael in Derry Girls, but she would not be where she is today without her unyielding passion for theatre.
You may have caught her “tour de force” performance in the National Theatre’s Dancing at Lughnasa earlier this year, or her critically acclaimed performance in Happy Days at Birmingham Rep!
“McSweeney brings masterful touch to Beckett’s masterpiece” ⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Guardian
Join Siobhán as she discusses the fundamental importance of theatre, her belief that comedy is a far more effective mirror to society than tragedy, and the need to reassess the stories we tell to truly make our industry more diverse.
