David and Michael have a unique way of resolving problems in Staged :)

David: I mean, it’ll be fine. We went through half a dozen of these in Good Omens.

Jo: How did you resolve it then?

David: Battleships.

Jo: Battleships?

David: Mm-hmm.

Jo: With a pen and a paper and a grid with the… hit and miss and…

David: Yeah, yeah.

LATER

Michael: I think the world would be a much better place if more problems were resolved like this.

David: E4

Michael: Ooh… miss.

First look at Nina as Katie in Sharon Horgan’s new comedy drama ‘Women on the Verge’ which is due to air on UKTV Channel W in October. Based on Laura Martin’s memoir Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown, this new “love letter to women who haven’t ticked all the boxes” follows three thirtysomething friends whose lives aren’t quite the picture of Instagrammable bliss they had hoped for.

Nina to star in new comedy-drama series ‘Women on the Verge’

Set in Dublin, ‘Women on the Verge’ tells the darkly comic tale of three career-driven friends in their 30's, at various stages of their lives, who share the same nagging concern - that whilst their friends and colleagues seem to be increasingly in control of their lives, their own lives seem to be moving in the opposite direction.

Kerry Condon will play Laura, who is in the process of potentially ruining her career in investigative journalism by sleeping with her boss. Her ambitions take a knock however when she appears to be supplanted in his affections by a bright and talented young blogger called Samara. Laura is persuaded by Katie, played by Nina Sosanya, to seek professional help for her many issues in the form of a long-term commitment to intensive psychotherapy with the enigmatic 'Dr F' - who will be played by Sharon Horgan.

Divorced and single, Katie has recently contemplated a course of IVF to 'complete' her family without a man and have a much longed for sibling for her young daughter Ella. Meanwhile, Alison, played by Eileen Walsh, completes the trio as a character who, after a series of disastrous and border-line scary Tinder-based one-night stands, finds herself back together with her ex Martin. Alison is hooked up to an electronic device that measures her fertility cycle and describes sex with Martin as 'not too bad really, now that there's some sort of point to it'.

The six-part show for UKTV channel W is due to air later this year and will be an adaptation of Lorna Martin’s novel ‘Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown’ who said “The show is a love letter to women who haven’t ticked all the boxes and whose lives are a bit messier and more complicated that they ever thought they’d be.”
