About the show

William Street is a gripping drama set in Derry during the height of the Troubles. It follows the O’Shea family, led by Sean, a high-ranking IRA member, whose world is shaken when his wife Patricia reveals a dangerous connection to an English soldier. As tensions rise within the home, their daughter Jane embarks on a secret relationship with a member of the opposing group (the UVF), unaware that he is a target of her brother, Ruairi. Loyalties fracture and trust unravels in this intense story of family, conflict and survival.
