Clare actress Simone Kirby on starring in the final run of His Dark Materials

Simone Kirby in His Dark Materials, on BBC One.
Simone Kirby has cried in public on many occasions in her long career as a stage and screen actress. But the experience of sobbing her own – of weeping into the void – was new to her when she starred in the upcoming third series of the HBO/BBC adaptation of Philip Pullman’s His Dark Materials.
“This season I worked a lot with puppets. Some of the scenes are really emotional," says the Co Clare actress from her home in London.
