Shock,
If it's a decent display (indications so far is it might be), you'll see shooting stars anywhere you look. However, the radiant, where the shooting stars appear to come from, is in the Gemini constellation. If you can find Orion, then Gemini is the constellation to the left (east). It'll be in the south east at the start of the night and obviously move to the south west as the night goes on.
As ever, best viewing for meteors is after midnight, around 2am. Locate Orion and look a little to the left, but if it's a good show you won't need directions.
PS. The peak for us should be Sunday night/early Monday morning.
