Centre Stage Drama School in Mallow was delighted to learn that one of its past pupils, Cathal Sheehan, has been cast in the upcoming Prime Video series, ‘Boys of Tommen’, a romantic drama series based on the TikTok-famous, No.1 New York Times and internationally best-selling novels by Irish author Chloe Walsh. Season 1 is based on the first two novels in Walsh’s series, ‘Binding 13’ and ‘Keeping 13’, and follows the forbidden love story of Johnny Kavanagh, the star rugby player on the verge of a professional career, and Shannon Lynch, the talented but painfully shy new girl at the prestigious private school of Tommen College in Ballylaggin in Ireland. Both teenagers are hiding secrets; Johnny, a potential career ending injury, and Shannon, a troubled and violent home life. Through their secret and highly charged connection, the two teens from opposite worlds battle against the odds and find a way to save each other.
‘Boys of Tommen’ is Cathal’s first major role. After his time at Centre Stage in Mallow, he went on to study at the prestigious London Academy of Music and Dramatic (LAMDA), graduating this year with a degree in Drama, and to land such a major role so soon after graduating is a major achievement. Everyone in Centre Stage would like to wish Cathal every success in his acting journey.
