Shortscreen: Wifey Redux

Series 18, episode 0

All is well in the Prendergast household. Or at least, that is what Jonathan Prendergast would have you believe. But as he struggles to cope with a cooling marriage, and his teenage daughter's burgeoning independence, he becomes maniacally obsessed with chasing off his daughter's handsome new boyfriend, and stretches his familial bonds - and his own sanity - to their limits. Based on the short story by acclaimed Irish author Kevin Barry, from his short story collection, "Dark Lies the Island." Barry most recently released the well-reviewed, award-winning novel, "Beatlebone" in the fall of 2015
