Gina Costigan
Gina Costigan (born 1985) is an Irish actress of stage and screen. She appeared in the original Broadway companies of Jez Butterworth's The Ferryman and Martin McDonagh's Hangmen. In 2023 she starred as Grace in the UK National Tour of Brian Friel's Faith Healer.
Costigan was born in Dublin, Ireland to former Gaiety Theatre executive director, John Costigan and actress Maria McDermottroe.
She holds a BA (Hons) from Queens University Belfast, and an AA from the New York Conservatory for Dramatic Arts.
Costigan made her professional stage debut as a street child in the 1994 revival of James Plunkett's The Risen People at The Gaiety Theatre. Staged as part of the Dublin Theatre Festival, the production was co-directed by brothers Peter and Jim Sheridan, marking their professional reunion. At the time, The Risen People was the most expensive event in the festival's 35-year history.
She made her screen debut as crime figure John Traynor's girlfriend in 2003's Veronica Guerin, appearing opposite Cate Blanchett. She would go on to have supporting roles in numerous Irish films, including The Front Line (2006), Becoming Jane (2007), Swansong: Story of Occi Byrne (2009), A Terrible Beauty (2013), Halal Daddy (2017), My Sailor, My Love (2022), and TWIG (2024).
Costigan has twice appeared as Mailí in Aisling Ghéar Theatre Company's National Tour of An Triail by Máiréad Ní Ghráda, first in 2009, then again in 2013. The play is written and performed entirely in the Irish language.
In 2011 Costigan starred as Sandra in The New Theatre, Dublin's production of Isobel Mahon's Billy the Boat Loves Angelina. The play tells the story of three siblings, Susan, Sandra, and Tim, who have become caught up in the Dun Laoghaire drug scene. In a review for The Irish Times, Peter Crawley noted Costigan's "assured performance", while "portraying (a) menacing figure with admirable bite."
In 2016 Costigan made her Off-Broadway debut in Honor Molloy's Crackskull Row at the Irish Repertory Theatre. The following year, she appeared in The Suitcase Under the Bed, a combined bill of four plays by Teresa Deevy at the Mint Theater Company. Both productions were named "Critic's Picks" by The New York Times.
