Tale
Spanning four tumultuous decades during The Troubles in Northern Ireland
The real Dolours Price was married for two decades (1983-2003) to Irish actor Stephen Rea. During that time, Rea appeared in the film for which he is probably best known in the United States: the 1992 romantic thriller The Crying Game.
Quite a devastating story
In that film, Rea plays Fergus, an extremely reluctant and ambivalent member of the Irish Republican Army (IRA) – the same organization with which Price was involved for many years.. Probably the most heartbreaking piece of "entertainment" I have ever seen was episode #6.
I hope we see them get more leading roles in the future
The younger Price sisters are amazingly well portrayed by two actresses I had never heard of (Lola Petticrew and Hazel Doupe). Also, Anthony Boyle jumped off the screen in every scene he was in.
The show couldn’t have been better cast
I was only vaguely familiar with this story and haven’t read the book, so I can’t speak to the accuracy of the shows, but I can say that the dialogue is well written and the directors did a fantastic job. I would absolutely recommend watching this show.
