My Take

What draws me to Clare Higgins is her quiet refusal to chase celebrity. Winning the Olivier Award for Best Actress three times is not luck; it is the mark of an actor who treats the stage as a craft to be mastered rather than a launchpad for fame. Her Broadway turn in Vincent in Brixton and the resulting Tony nomination confirmed that her power travels. In an era obsessed with screen visibility, I admire performers who build their reputation in the demanding live theatre. Higgins, to me, is a working actor's actor, and that is the highest compliment I can offer.
