Love My Enemy
Kate MacLachlan"'Teenage take on the cliche-ridden "Protestant girl meets Catholic boy" theme. A little girl grows up in suburban Belfast. Her father was shot dead in front of the family, her brother is a fervent Orangeman and now she fancies a Catholic lad in the neighbourhood. Not ideal, considering her brother will kill her boyfriend if he finds out. It comes to a horribly violent conclusion which banishes all expectation that this is your saccharine love-accross-the-barricades pastiche.'" Eoghan Corry Daily Ireland
