Matthew Rhys (The Americans), Jamie Dornan (The Fall) si Ann Skelly (Red Rock) vor juca in Death And Nightingales – o noua adaptare BBC Two a romanului irlandez clasic din 1992, scris de Eugene McCabe.
Miniseria de 3 episoade este adaptata si va fi regizata de Allan Cubitt (The Fall). Death And Nightingales este o poveste fascinanta despre iubire, minciuni si razbunare, plasata in frumoasa regiune rurala Fermanagh, in anul 1885. Actiunea are loc pe o perioada extrem de tensionata de doar 24 de ore, chiar in ziua in care Beth Winters (Ann Skelly) implineste 25 de ani. Aceasta decide sa plece alaturi de fermecatorul Liam Ward (Jamie Dornan) departe de traiul limitat si de tatal ei vitreg Billy (Matthew Rhys) si de relatia complexa si dificila pe care o au. Dupa decenii intregi de durere si tradari, o femeie se lupta sa isi controleze propriul destin, infruntand tensiuni care ameninta sa distruga familii si chiar natiuni.
“I’ve been a huge fan of Allan Cubitt’s work for many years so I’m thrilled to have been given the chance to work on Death And Nightingales alongside Jamie and Ann and return to the BBC,” a declarat Matthew Rhys. “I’m thrilled to be reunited with Allan and his brilliant scripts to play such an intriguing character like Liam Ward and to return to Northern Ireland and BBC Two,” a adaugat Jamie Dornan.
“Playing such a strong character as Beth Winters is truly an actor’s dream, and a fantastically intense challenge to be given the opportunity to play. And to get to work with such brilliant actors like Matthew and Jamie, and a director like Allan Cubitt, is just surreal to me. I can’t wait to start!” a completat Ann Skelly.
Death And Nightingales va avea 3 episoade de cate o ora, acestea fiind produse de Imaginarium si Soho Moon production pentru BBC Two. Comandata de Patrick Holland, seful de la BBC Two si Piers Wenger, director al BBC Drama, miniseria este produsa de James Mitchell de la Soho Moon si Tommy Bulfin de la BBC Two. Filmarile au inceput in aceasta vara, in Irlanda de Nord.
