Good bloke, helped us to devise the play. Currently playing Bilbo Baggins in the West End.
This is Shelley's first outing with Third Party and at the time of writing she is hoping that the ukulele playing, crooning, dancing, acting and fire-breathing which she has signed up for will go without a hitch.
Born in Limerick, brought up in Tipperary, Shelley moved to London to train as as a actor at Arts Educational London Schools and find her fortune.
Most recently she has been on tour playing Rita in Educating Rita in a Tour de Force/American Drama Group/Richmond Productions co-production which travelled all around Europe, the Far East and the Middle East. Previous theatre includes 'The Canterville Ghost' for Vienna's English Theatre, 'When Snow Falls' and 'Gotcha!' for the Half Moon Theatre London, 'Charlie Sexboots' for Balls In The Air Productions, 'The Black Monk' for Bristol Travelling Theatre at the Dublin Festival, 'The Late' and 'Linda Her' for Together Alone and the musical 'Smoke' for Doom Productions.
She has also been doing some voiceover work. Apparently her soothing Irish tones can calm irate callers as they are put on hold. She sincerely hopes you have no reason to hear her outside this production.
Fionnuala studied Drama and English at university before training at Hope Street's Physical Theatre Programme 2002/03 in Liverpool. Since then she has toured with Out of the Blue for Reject's Revenge, Soulskin for Red Ladder, two tours of Backwater for Spike Theatre, Roa Saf T for Tiny Giants and The Friendship for Hope Street. With Walk the Plank, she finished her second tour of Noah's Ark on board the Fitzcarraldo this summer. She has also been spotted singing and playing guitar for a band rumoured to be called Monkey Pumps or The Rita Hayworths on board the Fitz at their cabaret nights. When they realised they couldn't get rid of her they decided to train her in pyrotechnics and early this year she joined the company in Toronto to perform in their spectacular outdoor fireshow, The Tower of Light. Other work includes lead vocals and outdoor performance for ZHO and Liverpool Lantern Company, puppeteering at various festivals for Caprichio, starring alongside a large, blue, drunk dog in short film Boris Listens and Two Pairs of Shorts for Spike Theatre. She has completed numerous projects with Base Chorus including The Corrupted Angel (Royal Opera House), Beauty (Unity Theatre) and soundtrack vocals for their short film, Cappuccino.
