Rugadh Siobhán Nic Cionnaith i mBéal Feirste i 1923 a, ach is i nGaillimh agus i gCo. Mhuineacháin a tógadh í. Ba í an Ghaeilge a bhí timpeall uirthi sa mbaile agus í ag fás suas agus ba sa Taibhdhearc a chuir sí tús lena gairm mar bhanaisteoir. Bhain sí clú agus cáil amach, ní hamháin in Éirinn le hAmharclann na Mainistreach, ach go hidirnáisiúnta, ar stáitse agus i scannáin. Beidh glór Shiobháin le cloisteáil agus í ag cur síos a hóige agus ar a cuid aisteoireachta sa gclár seo inniu. Is í Máirín Nic Con Iomaire a chuirfidh an clár i láthair.
Today, we will hear an archive programme about Siobhán McKenna. Siobhán was born in Belfast in 1923, but was brought up in Galway and Monaghan. She heard Irish all around her when she was growing up, and she started her acting career in An Taibhdhearc, the national Irish-language theatre in Galway. She established an excellent reputation for her acting, not only in Ireland with the Abbey Theatre, but also internationally, on stage and on screen. Today we will hear archive material from Siobhán describing her life and work. Presented by Máirín Nic Con Iomaire.
