'Martha, Josie and the Chinese Elvis'

'Brassed Off' publicity image

  'Brassed Off'
Oldham Coliseum 2008

"Clara Darcy is a natural as Gloria, the girl who comes back to
her northern roots bringing with her a host of memories and a
flugelhorn which sounds amazing."

The Stage
     
   

" ... Gloria is played by Clara Darcy who not only acts very well
but also actually plays the flugelhorn with real precision,
almost stealing the show early on with a solo performance
of Rodrigo’s Concerto D`Aranjuez."
whatsonstage.com

     
    "It’s nicely romantic and not too sad or political thanks to
the restored romance between miner Andy (Phil Rowson)
and newcomer Gloria (Clara Darcy - both cute and a strong
flugelhorn player, quite a combination)."

Oldham Chronicle
     
    " ... Clara Darcy plays a mean flugelhorn."

    'Jack & The Beanstalk'
Oldham Coliseum 2007-08
     
    " ... whilst Jill is charmingly played by Clara Darcy who handles
a feisty fight scene particularly well.  
Fortunately both sing well
so their musical numbers were enjoyable.
