'It's a single woman's Nightmare Before Christmas
One of the stars of Derry Girls has spoken of her excitement as she gears up to bring a Christmas play for adults to Belfast.
They began to wonder what adults were doing around the festive period, as most events tend to be aimed at children. They set out to write a Christmas play for adults, with On The Shelf being the finished product. "Chris Robinson is hilariously funny, and stick him in an elf costume, his sheer height makes it funny. A bit like the elf on the shelf, this elf might be tall and cute, but he's also up to mischief."
"We're doing two shows a night. If you come to the later one, be prepared, because people have had their dinner and a few glasses of wine, and it is Belfast after all. That's what I love about a Belfast audience, they love to join in and get involved." Although Derry Girls has now ended after three seasons, the character of Ma Mary is still one that Tara Lynne is well-known for. She said after years of playing the character on screen, she sees them almost as one.
As well as this, she said it's helped put the talents of Northern Ireland's actors and screen crew on a platform for the world to see.
