Drama: PAULA
Irish playwright Conor McPherson is known for his eerie and spine-tingling works and after 2009’she opted for a typically unsettling tone for his first TV series. “Her life has no guiding framework,” McPherson told the “On the outside it looks as though it does, but she’s existentially a very free person and that’s incredibly dangerous because once she feels threatened then all bets are off.” Adding a supernatural element “makes things feel more real,” he says. Denise Gough plays the lead character, a chemistry teacher whose inappropriate bedroom choices lead to a dangerous situation with a drifter, James (Tom Hughes).
