2000s: Truth or Dare can be a dangerous game to play
2000s: Truth or Dare can be a dangerous game to play
Lorna McLeish works in a bank and is sent to Cardiff for three months, so her friends Libby and Becka think nothing of squatting in her empty London flat. However, they soon discover that Lorna never arrived in Cardiff.
Now what are they going to do? Well, lie, cheat and panic their way through London, Glasgow, Belfast and Dublin in search of the truth. But before they can rescue Lorna, Libby must come to terms with her own repressed past…
“The fighting in the North was peculiar in that very few people experienced it as open war. It was more of a strain. A subtle kind of torture. Everything was hidden. People used their religion as a marker, as a mask and as a cover.”
The locations of London, Glasgow, Dublin and Belfast are not strongly evoked but there is a sense of chasing through the cities to find traces of the missing girl
The Irish connection is the biggest draw – Truth or Dare is the story of two girls who go after an IRA cell and seek revenge (the original title was scaring the Protestants)
Destination: Ireland, London Departure Time: 2000s
