Paisley & Me stares hard at one of Northern Ireland’s most iconic and controversial figures and examines his far-reaching impact on the Protestant community. 

A hugely divisive figure in Northern Ireland, the Rev. Ian Paisley has split political parties, church and families for decades. This play focuses on one such family and the effect Ulster’s ‘Big Man’ has had on each of them. 

From an early evangelist calling in a field in Armagh to his final momentous act of power-sharing with deadly enemy Sinn Fein, this powerful new drama series shines a light on Paisley’s life and legacy while exploring what it means to be Protestant in Northern Ireland today.
