Filming a live play during Covid: We were playing Russian roulette

  “It’s been such an odd time. We’ve produced a new play by a major writer on the main stage, we’ve had a dress rehearsal and previews but no audience. The process has been nerve-wracking, a bit like a Hitchcock film, right up to the endgame. As the numbers grew, we were playing Russian roulette with the production. If anyone had tested positive for Covid, the whole thing would have been over.” Jimmy Fay, executive producer at Belfast’s Lyric Theatre, describes the tense countdown to BBC Northern Ireland’s live filming of David Ireland’s new play, Sadie, to be broadcast over a year after the theatre closed its doors.

“In retrospect, you remember secrets whispered in shops and the things people wouldn’t say to each other. Seamus Heaney puts it perfectly in that line, ‘whatever you say, say nothing’, and in the bog poems, where he writes about bodies in the land and unanswered questions.
