She went on to play such diverse roles as Anna Karenina ("mesmeric" The Guardian), Janis Joplin ("compelling", Time Out, UK) and Athena in Xena, Princess Warrior to name but a few. Her performance as Constance in The Constant Wife at the world renowned Gate Theatre was so successful that she was asked to reprise the role ten years later. It was one of the longest running productions in The Gate's history, and went on to headline at The Spoleto Festival in Charleston, South Carolina, one of America's major international performing arts festivals.
