Placed centre stage are characters Erin, Michelle, Clare and Orla who faced the ordinary challenges of teenage life in an extraordinary environment.

Through tears and laughter, Lisa McGee’s brilliantly scripted comedy and honest humanity have helped the people of Northern Ireland to explore their troubled past, creating an unexpected opportunity to heal together.

Derry Girls is the only cultural event that has ever sought to tell our stories honestly. The madness and the mundanity. The weirdness and the funny stuff. [...] I see it and recognise myself and it is utterly joyful. To be seen, finally. [...] To be heard. My life, our lives. Not in a news bulletin. Not an inconvenience...
