"Or as she puts it: I wanted a shit, female, Northern Irish A-Team! Part thriller, part surrealist comedy, How to Get to Heaven from Belfast follows Saoirse (Roisin Gallagher), Robyn (Sinead Keenan) and Dara (Caoilfhionn Dunne), who have been pals since their teenage years at the accurately named Our Lady of the Sorrows school and who get dragged into a Knives Out-style mystery after the shocking death of their school friend, Greta."
"And sometimes you don't want that thing from your past being brought up again. Or you don't want to talk about that story because it doesn't represent you as you see yourself now. So it can get quite spiky. You're living this agreed lie. But in a more comical way, you get away with nothing. I remember starting to eat sushi when I was in my 20s and my friends being like: Who the hell do you think you are?'"
How to Get to Heaven from Belfast is an eight-part series set in Belfast that follows three women—Saoirse, Robyn and Dara—who have been friends since their teenage years at Our Lady of the Sorrows school. The series blends thriller, surrealist comedy and mystery elements as the women become involved in a Knives Out-style investigation after the shocking death of their school friend Greta. The show centers on female friendship across decades, exploring shared memories, the pressure to edit those memories to match current identities, and how long-standing familiarity can create tensions and agreed untruths.
