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
