Moe Dunford: New drama The Dry is 'the most honest piece of writing'

‘Rosie’ told a harrowing story of homelessness in Ireland. Now the same director and star tackle our relationship with alcohol in new drama, ‘The Dry’.

The Irish relationship with alcohol is explored in The Dry, a wickedly dark, funny and revealing new series centred around one colourful Irish family.

The offbeat drama centres on Shiv (Roisín Gallagher), a returning emigrant who’s back in Ireland from London, recently sober and taking it one day at a time.
