Shauna Bray, who inspired the character Michelle, says friend Lisa McGee encouraged a fresh start.
Shauna and Derry Girls character Michelle who she’s based on, at the recent opening of the series exhibition at the Tower Museum in DerryMichelle was one of the breakout characters from the award-winning series Derry Girls - now, after more than twenty years, her real-life inspiration is returning to her first love of acting.
The mum-of-four said it was McGee who encouraged her to return to acting, after giving it up back in 2003. For Shauna, the acting bug bit early - she started at the age of nine after her father spotted an advertisement for an amateur drama society in the Derry Journal."It fostered a real love in me for comedy acting."When Shauna repeated her lower sixth year at school, she first met Lisa McGee who was in her form class.
But some words of encouragement from her childhood best friend and Bafta-award winning writer has now led her back to the stage."I just thought you're in your forties, you've no self-confidence and my family are the focus.
