Under the Black Rock

March 2023

“Yes, they haunt me, but not for one moment did I agonise over what I did or ordered. It was all in a day’s work, and it was necessary.”

EVANNA LYNCH TO STAR IN WORLD PREMIERE OF TROUBLES THRILLER, Under The Black Rock.

A twisting and darkly comic thriller set in Northern Ireland at the height of the Troubles, with a cast led by Evanna Lynch. Lynch plays Niamh Ryan, drawn into the conflict as part of a divided family, in a community where secrecy and treachery are commonplace and no one is quite who they seem to be.

In a period of heightened tensions in Northern Ireland, as the 25th anniversary of the Good Friday Agreement approaches, Under the Black Rock serves as a timely warning from history.
