Maria Straw Cinar

In Loving Memory of

You may have heard the very sad news today that our former colleague at WSfG, Maria Straw Cinar passed away earlier this week.

Maria had been suffering from a long term illness but the news has still come as a shock to many of us that worked with her.

Maria was Head of Drama here between 2008 and 2014 and was always such a fun and bright character who will be sorely missed.
