Clodagh Bowyer: Press

Bowyer with her tall height, regal bearing and low-pitched voice presents quite a contrast...from heart-warming comedy to heartbreaking poignance.

When I saw Clodagh recently on stage (Symphony Space) it occurred to me they did not need lighting as the whole place lit up when she entered.  She is a magnetic performer-versatile, funny and a very committed professional who makes it all look so easy.  All of us theater folk old and young can learn from attending any of her performances.  Tony Emmy Oscar here comes Clodagh

"...the statuesque (Clodagh) Bowyer...is terrific!"

Clodagh Bowyer...brings wit!

 

The NewYorker--"Comic melodrama, an energetic production,...elaborate plot...the cast, under the direction of Peter Dobbins, delivers likeable, admirably low shtick performances that keep things entertaining"
Irish Echo--"Director Dobbins has been extremely fortunate with his casting.  Just as fine is Clodagh Bowyer...steadfastly loyal and loving"
NewYorkTheatre.com--"Theatrical magic going on at The Storm Theatre of a pure and rare variety...in all its pixilated, blarney spouting glory, just as it ought to be seen....edge of your seat, fast-paced adventure & just might bring a tear to your sentimental eye...gloriously extraordinary...old-fashioned, unabashed charm"
Irish Voice--"Other standouts in this lively romp include Clodagh Bowyer"
Warner Brothers' Rob Russell, "The Shaughraun was absolutely delightful and fun, and the cast was brilliant!  Mrs. O'Kelly (Clodagh Bowyer) was mesmerizing!  I'd see it again and again.  Totally worth the ticket!"
Joe Franklin Legendary Radio/Talk show host, "The Shaughraun was sensational!  Terrific talent all the way through the cast.  What fun!"
Backstage--"For those who think Irish playwrighting consists largely of boozers gabbing blarney, enlighten yourself with The Shaughraun.  Clodagh Bowyer...brings wit!"
Curtain Up--"The Shaughraun is an important piece of theater history...ClodaghBowyer...comic contrast!"

 

Clodagh Bowyer In "To Kill a Mockingbird". This was a paritucalrly impressive interpretation of an essentially difficult role.

Clodagh did so much more than fill the role of Marian---she filled the whole world of the play with her presence.  Her acting transparent, her emotions translucent:  one feels in the presence of true, confident and mature talent:  her emotions emerge fully nuanced while her intellect shimmers on stage.

"We needed an exceptionally strong actress and when we auditioned Clodagh for the part, we realized she was right for the job."

Clodagh Bowyer is effective in suggesting that Sarah, the rather self-assured wife, and Dolores, the "lovely whore", are merely variations upon a theme rather than multiple personalities.

As for the impish, yet sympathetic Varvara (in "The Storm" by Ostrovsky),...Clodagh Bowyer is gaiety itself!
