Join Seamus Heaney Centre Fellows Adam Patterson and Declan Lawn In Conversation.
Hosted by Prof. Glenn Patterson as part of our Villanova University Visiting Students programme.
Screenwriters Declan Lawn and Adam Patterson met whilst working for the BBC's flagship current affairs programme, Panorama, spending a decade making investigative documentaries, both in the UK and around the world, before moving into drama. They wrote hit drama The Salisbury Poisonings, which became the BBC’s most watched drama of 2020 and was subsequently acquired by Netflix for the rest of the world. They then released their first feature-length film Rogue Agent (FREEGARD), starring James Norton and Gemma Arterton, on UK Netflix and theatres across the US in summer 2022. Declan and Adam are currently working on the third and fourth series of their original scripted drama Blue Lights, about response police officers in Belfast.
