Cloda wins leading role in Siamsa Tire production

An 18-year-old Kerry performer has been given a big chance to establish her career by landing the lead role in a new production by Siamsa Tíre, the Tralee-based National Folk Theatre of Ireland.

Local girl Cloda Curran, who has been with the company since childhood, is playing Áine, the central character in Imigéin, based on one woman’s journey to find a place she can call home.

Imigéin is also the directorial debut of Joanne Barry who has been with Siamsa Tíre since she was eight years of age. She was appointed repertory director last December.
