The team are hoping to represent the diversity of contemporary culture and ethnicities in Ireland as well as different age groups so you’ve no excuse.
“We are super excited to get started. There will be a ticket system at each of the venues, on a first come, first seen basis! We can see 500 per day in Dublin and 300 per day in the other cities.” Louise has said.
"In order to get seen, I would advise getting there early. If we cannot see you on the day, we shall accept self-tapes in the coming months. We would ask that people prepare a Film/TV monologue of a minute in length. We are creating a whole town, cast-wise, from the ground up.”
The series will go into production this autumn and will be produced by Element Pictures and Company Pictures.
