Casey is living the love story of her dreams…so why can’t her family be happy for her?

Casey’s new boyfriend Brett is handsome, romantic and devoted. For once in her life Casey is in a relationship with a man who attends to her every whim and desire.  But far from celebrating this new love, Casey’s family are concerned. 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…

Somewhere Out There You, Nancy Harris’s dazzling world premiere, 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.

Somewhere Out There You premieres as part of Dublin Theatre Festival. Playwright Nancy Harris spoke at the festival launch in July – read her speech in full here.
