Asking your crush to the school prom

Clare and Michelle are looking for prom dates...

Featuring: Saoirse-Monica Jackson (Erin Quinn), Jamie-Lee O'Donnell (Michelle Mallon), Nicola Coughlan (Clare Devlin), Louisa Harland (Orla McCool), Dylan Llewellyn (James Maguire) & Calam Lynch (John Paul).

Press

Teacher's pet Jenny has decided to ruin the annual Lady Immaculate formal by giving it a naff 50s prom theme, which means the girls have to find dresses and dates. Meanwhile, the arrival of a new student (Aoife Hinds, daughter of actor Ciarán) upends the social order. Joyous comedy, with a note of poignancy.

Gwilym Mumford, The Guardian, 2nd April 2019
