Since its inception in 2009, Storyland has acted as a launch pad for Irish writing, directing, producing, and acting talent throughout Ireland to develop and further their careers. This is part of RT 's ongoing strategy to increase its development in drama output, by investing in and supporting the Irish creative industry. This strategy also supports the employment of hundreds of people across the industry, in order to bring more Irish drama series to television, and importantly to RT Player where scripted series dominate viewing.
First up is SHUSH airing on Thursday 31st October on RT 2 at 10:35pm. Ruth's love for baby Fia is undeniable. But under the strain of loneliness and a difficult domestic existence, Ruth impulsively makes a drastic decision to set off with the baby, without telling anyone. SHUSH is a tense psychological thriller that asks how far we would go to keep our loved ones close, and who can we really trust. Starring and written by Liv O'Donoghue, produced by Jo Halpin for Charmer Pictures and directed by Jane Moriarty. Starring Mark Huberman in the role of John and twins Bella and Capri Neville in the role of baby Fia.
