'What If?' The story of one mother’s loss.

Shankill Bomb Play to be performed in Derry

The Shankill Road, Belfast 1993. On a sunny Saturday afternoon in October a bomb explodes in Frizzell’s fish shop, killing nine people and one of the bombers.

'Then it hit me - my Leanne was under all them bricks  …

A mother’s instinct is to protect her child.  Who can protect their child from evil? I couldn’t.'
