In 1991 she was in the company that performed Brian Friel's Dancing at Lughnasa, about the sad lives of a group of sisters in pre-war rural Ireland, on Broadway, and was nominated for a Tony award, losing to co-star Bríd Brennan, although her role went to the Kathy Burke in the film version. She has appeared in such television plays and series, as Michael Palin's wife in the GBH and in New Tricks, Midsomer Murders, and Sex, the City and Me.
