DeadlineContenders ‘The Quiet Girl’ Writer-Director Colm Bairéad “Fell Head Over Heels In Love” With Novel That Formed His Intimate Irish Drama
as one of the greatest works of Irish literature written by a woman this century,” he recalls. “For whatever reason, I went out that day and bought it, and I just fell head over heels in love with it. It’s a stand-alone publication, but really it’s a short story — a long short story, as Claire likes to call it. In fact, it’s only about 85 pages. But just everything about it appealed to my sensibility.
Shortly after that, Bairéad put Clinch in a rehearsal room with her co-stars Carrie Crowley and Andrew Bennett, who play the surrogate parents in the story, for a chemistry read. “At the end of that day, myself and Cleona [Ni Chrualaoi) — who’s the producer and also my wife — were driving home, and we were so excited because we knew we had found our holy trinity. We had our three leads, and when you find your cast like that, it’s such an exciting moment — you just can’t wait to get started.
