Agnes O'Casey

Emma Jane Purcell chats to people at the top of their game about failure - from their first memory of failure to how they cope with it now.
After recently graduating from drama school, Aggi has already made her TV debut in the BBC drama Ridley Road, where she plays the leading role of Vivien Epstein. She has also worked with Druid, playing the role of Nina in The Seagull, directed by Garry Hynes and is currently filming the lead role of Maud in the feature film Uncle Silas. Aggi is the great-granddaughter of dramatist Sean O'Casey.

But Aggi is not here to talk about success - she's here to talk about failure.
