Irelandâs rising star Ella Lily Hyland: âPeople would say I was meant for the stage, because I was madâ (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The black curtain behind Ella Lily Hyland has dusty white smudges on it. Sheâs backstage at the Lyttelton Theatre, part of the National Theatre on Londonâs South Bank, and the clay substance she will later put on her face for that eveningâs performance seems to have got everywhere. âI didnât even know that was there,â she says of her backdrop. âIt probably looks a bit mank.â The Carlow actor â usually Ella Lily at work, mostly Ella to her friends â is playing Chrysothemis in
The writers behind Blue Lights: âI think I fell in love. I thought, I have to work with this guyâ (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Screenwriters Declan Lawn and Adam Patterson have news that fans of Blue Lights, their Belfast police drama, might not wish to hear. The acclaimed BBC series about a fictional Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) station will âtake a beatâ after its upcoming fourth season. âWhatever iteration of the show happens afterwards, or whatever decision the BBC makes, great, but thereâs a sense in which we definitely want to step back and look at it in the round,â Lawn says. âItâs the

Saoirse, a new Irish-language musical (ceoldráma nua) written and composed by Shauna Carrick, doesnât waste time before it tackles the most terrifying ordeal of any modern Gaeltacht summer course: the ceremonial handing over of phones. This does nothing to ease the anxiety of our wide-eyed title heroine, winsomely played by Ciara Cox, though the giant smartphone prop suspended from the ceiling is a signal to the audience that phones are destined to become an integral element of this story any
Slow Horses actor Ruth Bradley on handling rejection, learning to say no and laughing it all off (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Ruth Bradley loves her character in Slow Horses. At one point, she âfell in loveâ with her. âWe put this thing out there, a âthis is who I amâ to the world, but actually weâre all just kind of babies who grew up and want to be loved,â she says of Emma Flyte, MI5âs head of security in the Apple TV spy drama. Itâs a dream job for the award-winning Irish actor, not least because in the upcoming sixth season she gets to show another side of Flyte: the messy side. Indeed, the more t
