FX's latest show Say Nothing, available to stream on Hulu, is a harrowing, expertly told story of extremist violence's effect on countless lives. Based on Patrick Radden Keefe's 2018 bestseller Say Nothing: A True Story of Murder and Memory in Northern Ireland, the nine-episode true-crime series chronicles the Troubles, the decades-long conflict between Catholic republicans and Protestant loyalists in Northern Ireland. The must-watch series tells the stories of several members of the Provisional Irish Republican Army (IRA), with two of the standout subjects being Dolours and Marian Price, siblings and IRA fighters who were once dubbed "The Sisters of Terror."
Say Nothing follows both Dolours (played by both Lola Petticrew and Maxine Peake in the series) and Marian (played by both Hazel Doupe and Helen Behan) throughout their lives, from their childhoods learning the methods of the IRA to their adulthoods, as Dolours takes part in the Belfast Project, an oral history, which also served as her anonymous confession. Through this, it examines the toll that the IRA’s quest—to end British rule in Northern Ireland and reunite Ireland by any means necessary—took on its members. Below, read on for everything you need to know about the true story of the Price sisters, including which of the pair is still alive today.
