In the course of a successful and award winning career as a performer and music educator, Clare has been gaining recognition as a playwright and songwriter. Her songs and lyrics have been performed at prestigious venues: including the Purcell Room, the Victoria and Albert Museum, Winchester Cathedral, Canterbury Cathedral and live on Test Match Special. Clare's plays and musicals have been staged by a number of professional companies, community groups and schools.
Recent achievements include: performances in the Worcester and Sevenoaks Festivals, of her musical play "Do not forget me quite"; the staging of three musical shows for the Dickens bi-centenary; two children's shows at Upnor Castle and musicals to commemorate the anniversaries of Grace Darling, Benjamin Britten, the first Duchess of Northumberland and the Great War.
Clare's plays, musicals and songs often draw upon her own life and work: dealing with subjects such as music, theatre, history, family relationships, disability, Christmas, her life in Kent, her Geordie upbringing, her fondness for the works of Charles Dickens, her interest in WW1 poetry and her love of cricket.
