| − | Diuguid was born in Kentucky, USA 54 years ago and settled in England in 1972 where she enjoyed an award-winning directorial career directing for the English National Opera Company, making films for Channel 4 and the British Film Institute and freelancing in Japan and Australia. When she settled in Johannesburg in 1999, she met actress [[Nan Hamilton]], a member of [[MaOyaMa]], a group of six women (including [[Aletta Bezuidenhout]]) who asked her to direct a serious women's play for the millennium. One of her first projects in South Africa was to start an arts and drama group with male prisoners in Leeuwkop prison. Art, healing, and compassionate socialism were synonymous for Diuguid; it was a combination which, with a fiery perfectionism, sometimes came close to overwhelming her.
