Love/Hate star Mary Murray has admitted it was “pleasant” not to have to film in brothels for her new romantic comedy.
The Dublin actress stars alongside RTE co-stars Aoibhinn McGinnity and Susan Loughnane in Poison Pen.
And Mary found it “a joy” not to be in dank basements with gangsters for once while filming.

“The locations they found for it were amazing because we started in a beautiful Georgian House that was a mix of old and new and had a real sense of Yale about the place,” she said.
“We kind of continued that way, into incredible restaurants and hotels, so everywhere we shot was exactly like it read in the script and sensationally beautiful — very different to Love/Hate.”
And Mary told the Herald it was odd but brilliant for them all to get out of their Love/Hate roles together for the flick, which will premiere at the Galway Film Fleadh today.

“We’re all playing very different characters to our Love/Hate parts and that makes it interesting because you see us together in a completely different light,” she explained.
“It was an opportunity to show what else we can do — and most of us are playing the parts with English accents too.”
Artemis Fowl Eoin Colfer’s film – which was made in six weeks – centres around a gossip magazine, where a snooty professor PC Malloy is forced to work to make money.
