Grace Kelly, the Westport actress, plays the lead role in “Hysteria” part in RTÉ’s latest Storyland competition.  The show is one of eight different series which have been selected from hundreds of applicants to take part in  RTÉ’s popular online film competition.

"Hysteria" is set in the not too distant future where a lethal virus has wiped out millions of people worldwide. Pregnant women are the carriers.

With no known cure, containment is the only option. Pregnancy is now outlawed. Grace plays Alison, pregnant, vulnerable and on the run from the authorities.

Grace is hugely excited about the project, and hopes "Hysaeria" gets  enough votes to make more episodes.

Grace has been acting from a very early age. She attended Sancta Maria College in Louisburgh, and is involved in the Sonas Children’s Arts Festival which takes place in Louisburgh each year.

She was also an active member in DU Players Drama Society and DU Filmmakers Society Dublin, and attends the Dance Theatre of Ireland.


Previous Storyland winners include ‘Hardy Bucks’ the Swinford based comedy drama that has gone on to huge success RTE TV Two series.
