Writer Nancy Harris & Producer Emma Norton Dissect Irish Dramedy ‘The Dry’ — Storyhouse
With its second season now airing on Ireland’s RTÉ One, the creator and producer behind Irish comedy-drama The Dry sat down at Dublin’s Storyhouse festival to give attendees a masterclass in how they attempted to grab audiences in the first five minutes of Season One.
The series, which is written by Nancy Harris and produced by Element Pictures ’ Emma Norton, follows Shiv Sheridan (Roisin Gallagher) as she returns to Dublin after years of partying in London. Producer Norton added that the first five minutes of the series shows “the density of story that can be told in a short space of time.” “There’s also a lot of nonverbal storytelling in that early sequence as well and all the things about Shiv’s expectations of who she’ll meet when she gets into that airport and part of that is restricted, you know all the little hints and bits of information,” said Norton.
