Faye was never stuck for enthusiam and raw materials, her nephews and nieces often appeared in plays and before them her 4 sisters and 1 brother as well as many of the residents of the Craigmillar area and occassionally the odd celebrity would help a hand. But even though she had family to lend a hand,they were never given prefferential treatment, you won your part by your own merits. |

| Her enthusiasm for acting forced her to apply for and win a three month course at the world renowned La Commedia del`Arte theatre school in Italy in 2001 where she met many new friends and learned about the art of comedy which she brought back to Craigmillar to teach to her friends and colleagues in the drama world |
