Laurence and Ian are best known from their roles as Elmo and Deano in RTÉ's hit drama Love/Hate. But that's behind them now and they are buzzing after last night's opening of The Night Alive, the "very dark and very funny" play in which they both star.

In this roller-coaster interview, Laurence talks about his tough upbringing, Ian relives his Game of Thrones bit-part and the possibility of another season of Love/Hate is debated.

The Night Alive runs from 22 September - 4 October at The Gaiety Theatre.
