Reviews:
“There is a quiet little gem playing in the Town Hall Theatre this week. Both actors give strong performances but Ger Considine while telling of the love story in his past gives a very special moment to the audience.”
The Galway Advertiser
“Tina O’Rourke’s two-hander is a simple but effective piece. Basically a conversation between two lonely middle-aged people on a “date”; It takes place on a rough-hewn park bench serenaded by the sounds of ambient traffic – it gradually yields its story and its riches. This is a quiet, careful production that repays attention.”
