Shadows on Our Skin

A film from the novel by JENNIFER JOHNSTON
Screenplay by DEREK MAHON introducing
Joe is an 11-year-old boy growing up in Derry, Northern Ireland. A chance meeting with a girl on his way home from school promises to open up his life in an unexpected and exciting way.
The best play yet to come out of the Northern Ireland impasse. Beautifully written, faultlessly directed.
