Abaigh Curry was born and raised in Ireland, her upbringing steeped in a rich tradition of storytelling, music, and poetry. This rich cultural history has shaped her into an intuitive and flexible actor whose passion for acting was kindled throughout childhood and school, as she clawed at every opportunity to be involved in the arts. This included sporadic acting classes and amateur shows as she moved back and forth between Australia and Ireland, most notably high school productions of The Pajama Game in which she played Babe Williams, My Fair Lady playing Eliza Doolittle, and even a professional stint in ABC’s ANZAC Girls.
At ACA, Abaigh’s credits have included Lady Bracknell in The Importance of Being Earnest,
Love in Everybody, Dawn and Fawcett in Jerusalem, Alma Lusty in The Ham Funeral, Nurse in Romeo & Juliet, Viola in Twelfth Night, Liz Morden in Our Country’s Good, Pol in Van Badham’s Morning on a Rainy Day and most fondly, Maggie in Dancing at Lughnasa.
Earlier stage credits include Through a Glass Darkly (Karin), and Macbeth or When Shall We Three Meet Again (Lady).
Abaigh’s talents also include singing, with a particular affinity for the Great American Songbook, as well as writing, directing, and producing. She looks forward to producing and featuring in A Marvellous Party, a collaborative short film which is one of a few projects she has lined up for next year.
