Book Description
Based on the much-loved film (2008 Oscar for Best Song, Falling Slowly), Once is an extraordinary, original and irresistibly joyous celebration of love, friendship and music.
When an Irish busker and a young Czech mother meet through a shared love of music, their songwriting sparks a deep connection and a tender, longing romance that neither of them could have expected.
With a book by the acclaimed Irish playwright Enda Walsh, Once is an old-fashioned love story that dares to be different, an achingly beautiful, thrillingly inspirational show that strikes a truly unforgettable chord.
Editorial Reviews
Review
Enda Walsh (Disco Pigs, Misterman) deploys his well-attested verbal gifts with well-judged economy to provide regular dashes of vivid, mildly absurdist colour. --Metro
There is genuine warmth and inclusiveness to this show... best of all is Enda Walsh's script, which has great, puckish fun applying a bit of Brechtian silliness to the romcom formula --Time Out
