The red carpet was rolled out at the IFI in Dublin this evening for the Dublin Premiere of the  highly anticipated Sky Original series Small Town, Big Story. The very dramatic comedy stars Emmy award-nominee Christina Hendricks (Good Girls, Mad Men) and BAFTA award-winning Paddy Considine (House of the Dragon, The World’s End) and is created and directed by Emmy award-winning Chris O’Dowd (Moone Boy).

 

The six-part series is set in Drumbán, a rural town on the border of Ireland and another world. The story unfolds as a Hollywood TV production rolls into town, shining the spotlight on a secret that has been hidden since the eve of the Millennium. Wendy Patterson (Hendricks), a local girl who found success as a TV producer in Los Angeles returns to Drumbán after over 20 years, having left under something of a cloud. Back in the chaotic microcosm of Drumbán, this time with a film crew in tow, Wendy is caught between her past and her epic new production. Séamus Proctor (Considine) is the local doctor, a respected pillar of the community. He has a neat and well-ordered life, or at least he thinks he does. Soon he will find himself in the eye of a storm as a celluloid circus descends, which threatens to blow open a secret he has been harbouring since the Millennium.

 

 

Small Town, Big Story will premiere on Thursday 27 February on Sky Atlantic and NOW.
