Nina to star in new comedy-drama series ‘Women on the Verge’Set in Dublin, ‘Women on the Verge’ tell

Nina to star in new comedy-drama series ‘Women on the Verge’

Set in Dublin, ‘Women on the Verge’ tells the darkly comic tale of three career-driven friends in their 30’s, at various stages of their lives, who share the same nagging concern - that whilst their friends and colleagues seem to be increasingly in control of their lives, their own lives seem to be moving in the opposite direction.

Kerry Condon will play Laura, who is in the process of potentially ruining her career in investigative journalism by sleeping with her boss. Her ambitions take a knock however when she appears to be supplanted in his affections by a bright and talented young blogger called Samara. Laura is persuaded by Katie, played by Nina Sosanya, to seek professional help for her many issues in the form of a long-term commitment to intensive psychotherapy with the enigmatic ‘Dr F’ - who will be played by Sharon Horgan.

Divorced and single, Katie has recently contemplated a course of IVF to 'complete’ her family without a man and have a much longed for sibling for her young daughter Ella. Meanwhile, Alison, played by Eileen Walsh, completes the trio as a character who, after a series of disastrous and border-line scary Tinder-based one-night stands, finds herself back together with her ex Martin. Alison is hooked up to an electronic device that measures her fertility cycle and describes sex with Martin as 'not too bad really, now that there’s some sort of point to it’.

The six-part show for UKTV channel W is due to air later this year and will be an adaptation of Lorna Martin’s novel ‘Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown’ who said “The show is a love letter to women who haven’t ticked all the boxes and whose lives are a bit messier and more complicated that they ever thought they’d be.”

life-between-films:

I attended the Tribeca Talks panel for Catastrophe with creator and writer Sharon Horgon and actor Carrie Fisher (and Gary the dog), presented by Vulture mag yesterday as part of the Tribeca Film Festival’s new expended TV section.  Very fun (for the dog’s antics alone) and very informative. CatastropheI feel is one of the smartest relationship comedies in awhile and it’s great to learn about how it all came together. Here are a few tidbits I picked up from the panel:
