SeriesAnother Northern Ireland

1. Susannah Dickey: Two Pills

The Essay

Available for over a year

Through hidden histories, untold stories and intimate perspectives, five more essayists reveal aspects of a Northern Ireland outsiders rarely get to hear about, but which each of these writers inhabits and intuitively understands. Having grown up in a Northern Ireland where reproductive rights were restricted - and with limited sex education offered at school - Derry born poet and novelist Susannah Dickey unexpectedly finds herself assuming a new identity at a local pharmacy. Producer: Conor Garrett
