Somewhere Out There You

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.

'We are all the authors of our own love story.'

Press Quotes

'Delightful... insightfully skewers the delusions and hypocrisies that are at the heart of most romantic relationships'

The Stage

'Bold and enjoyable'

Irish Times

'Sparkily original'

Irish Independent

'A refreshingly lighthearted comedy with some very funny lines and a Charlie Kaufmanesque twist... a warm and upbeat piece that makes you question the nature of love and its importance in our lives'

No More Workhorse

'Hilariously entertaining, with just a dash of romance, Somewhere Out There You is a laugh out loud delight. A perfect first date for hopeless romantics and the romantically hopeless'
