Saoirse Ronan in SEE HOW THEY RUN

In SEE HOW THEY RUN, the Irish actor, best known for bringing Jo March to life in Greta Gerwig’s 2019 adaptation of LITTLE WOMEN, plays an ambitious police officer paired with seasoned, yet unorthodox, detective (Sam Rockwell), in a ‘whodunnit’ murder mystery comedy where the scene of the crime is a theatre. The production, directed by THIS COUNTRY‘s Tom George, has a very impressive cast, hence Ronan’s struggle to pick the correct co-star in answer to our trivia questions. Joining Ronan and Rockwell are David Oyelowo, Ruth Wilson, Adrien Brody, Pippa Bennett-Warner, Reece Shearsmith and Harris Dickinson.
