She graduated from University College Cork and went on to the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA) in London, where she was one of the Academy’s ‘new wave’ of actors. She also gained critical acclaim for her performance as Julia in Richard Sheridan’s The Rivals at the National Theatre (1983).

Shaw began her acting career as Celia in As You Like It (1984), Madame de Volanges in Les Liaisons Dangereuses (1985), Katherine in The Taming of the Shrew (1987), Lady Franjul in The New Inn (1987), Young Woman in Machinal (1993), Winnie in Happy Days (2007), and the title roles in Electra (1988), The Good Person of Sechuan (1989), Hedda Gabler (1991), and The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie (1998) (2000).

She portrayed Miss Morrison in the 1984 episode “The Adventure of the Crooked Man” of The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes and Catherine Greenshaw in the 2013 Agatha Christie’s Marple episode “Greenshaw’s Folly.” Shaw starred as the male lead in Deborah Warner’s 1995 film Richard II, and has worked with Warner on stage and screen on several occasions. Shaw’s film and television credits include My Left Foot (1989), Mountains of the Moon (1990), Three Men and a Little Lady (1990), Super Mario Bros. (1993), Jane Eyre (1996), The Butcher Boy (1997), The Avengers (1998), Gormenghast (2000), and five Harry Potter films in which she played Harry Potter’s aunt Petunia Dursley.

She teamed up with Deborah Warner once more in 2009, playing the lead in Tony Kushner’s adaptation of Bertolt Brecht’s Mother Courage and Her Children. Rupert Christiansen described their professional collaboration as “probably one of the most richly creative teams in theatrical history” in a 2002 piece for The Daily Telegraph. Fiona performed alongside Alan Rickman and Lindsay Duncan in Ibsen’s John Gabriel Borkman at the Abbey Theatre in Dublin in November 2010. In 2011, the show was again performed at the Brooklyn Academy of Music in New York. Shaw had an appearance in season four of True Blood, an American television series.

When Eric Northman seeks to destroy her and split up their coven, her character leads a coven of necromancer witches who threaten the status quo in Bon Temps, deleting much of Eric Northman’s memories and leaving him practically defenseless. Shaw appeared in a performance of Howard Barker’s Scenes from an Execution at the National Theatre in 2012. United Solo, the world’s largest solo theatre festival, honored her with the 2013 United Solo Special Award for her Broadway performance in The Testament of Mary.
