Early Life and Education

Clare Agius was born on September 18, 1975, in Malta.

Details about her parents remain not publicly available, though she has spoken warmly of their support in her pursuits. She grew up with three brothers, including her eldest sibling Paul, who passed away at age 10.

She pursued formal theatre training at the Malta Theatre Academy Drama Associates (M.T.A.D.A.) from 1990 to 1995, building a strong foundation in acting techniques.

Of Maltese ethnicity, her religious background aligns with the island’s predominant Roman Catholic traditions, though not explicitly detailed in public sources.

Career

Clare Agius launched her professional journey at 15 when theatre director Karmenu Aquilina spotted her raw talent during a school staging of Oliver, casting her in early productions that honed her vocal strength and emotional range amid Malta’s burgeoning arts scene.

By her late teens, she dove into formal training at M.T.A.D.A., emerging in the mid-1990s with lead roles in local plays like Yerma by Federico García Lorca and devised works such as Rih, which took her to European festivals in London, Istanbul, and Rome.

Initial recognition came through these international tours, including the Edinburgh Fringe in 2002 with the physical theatre piece Kandor, and collaborations with British actor Matthew Scurfield on the ethnographic show I Could Be Anyone, blending Maltese storytelling with global stages while she balanced emerging TV hosting gigs that showcased her natural rapport with audiences.

Agius’s profile soared in 2002 with her breakout television role as Rita in the 24-episode adaptation of Guze Diacono’s beloved novel Madonna tac-Coqqa on One TV, a performance that captured the grit and vulnerability of working-class life and cemented her as a dramatic force.

This led to international opportunities, including a supporting turn as a frightened Hellenic woman in the epic Agora (2009), alongside Rachel Weisz, and roles in BBC’s Roman Mysteries (2007) and Polish series Kryminalni (2008), where she portrayed a Maltese police officer.

On the production front, she founded Clare Agius Media Productions in 2003, channeling her skills into hosting variety shows, documentaries, and her brainchild Ilsien in-Nisa, an empowering women’s forum that debuted in 2011 and ran for multiple seasons, earning praise for fostering candid dialogues on island issues while she earned a Best Actress nod for her lead as Sharin in the landmark Maltese film Simshar (2014).

Clare Agius balances selective acting with advocacy, voicing environmental causes and wellness through her 2008-launched Traditional Chinese Massage clinic, while her 2009 private pilot’s license fuels aerial explorations that inspire her grounded yet adventurous ethos.

Recent highlights include the intense lead in Jien Inhobb Inti Thobb at Manoel Theatre in 2014, the interdisciplinary Orfeo & Majnun during Valletta’s 2018 European Capital of Culture, and voice work in family animations, alongside producing eco-focused events.

Her trajectory weaves personal passions into professional impact, mentoring young performers and championing holistic living that resonates from Malta’s intimate venues to broader cultural exchanges.
