Experience & Training
Barbara graduated from Glasgow University before training professionally at the Drama Studio London in the late 1970s. Her acting career spans Theatre-in-Education, Community Theatre, Mainstream Theatre, London West End productions, and National Tours.

Her strong theatrical training means she responds to direction quickly and instinctively, bringing subtle emotional detail and nuance to every performance. Barbara’s versatile vocal range allows her to portray characters from young to old — from soft-spoken and compassionate to fierce, broken, mystical, or wise — always with imagination and truth.
