With a well-known Scottish variety comedian for a father, Maureen’s path was perhaps obvious from the start, and her journey has been every bit as fascinating as her father’s. We discuss Yerma, The Ferryman, the power of art and Maureen’s passion for her vital work with Equity. Thanks for listening!

Racontour Archive 2008 - 2019Saluting the great Charles MacklinCharles Macklin’s long life bookended two pivotal points in Irish history. Born weeks after William of Orange's 1690 triumph by the banks of the Boyne, he died the year before the 1798 Rebellion, just shy of 107. A giant of the London stage, his life had all the ingredients for a great play – lust, greed, murder, envy, ambition and talent. Not the sort of fellow you might think should be honoured hundreds of years later, but thankfully he is.
