Somewhere Out There You
'We are all the authors of our own love story.'
Casey's new boyfriend Brett is handsome, romantic and devoted – a dream come true. He writes poetry! He makes quiche! For once in her life, Casey is in a relationship with a man who attends to her every whim and desire.
But when her suspicious sister Cynthia starts digging into Brett's past, she threatens to take away the one good thing that's ever happened to Casey…
Nancy Harris's play Somewhere Out There You is a romantic comedy with a twist, playfully unravelling the love stories we weave for ourselves and inviting us to question what compels us to tell them in the first place. It was first performed in 2023 at the Abbey Theatre, as part of Dublin Theatre Festival, directed by Wayne Jordan.
Nancy Harris is a playwright and screenwriter from Dublin. Her other plays include Two Ladies (Bridge Theatre, London); The Beacon (Druid); The Red Shoes (Gate Theatre, Dublin); Our New Girl (Bush Theatre, London); and No Romance (also for the Abbey).
