‘packs a terrific, touching punch’ - Sunday Independent
‘compelling … delicately uplifting’ - The Guardian
Inspired by the true events that shocked London in 2017! The lives of three strangers collide for a split second on a busy London bridge: the English jogger racing across the city and up the corporate ladder, the Irish barrister striding toward a prominent career, and the Senegalese bus driver under pressure to finish his morning shift on time. Charged with tension, Once Upon a Bridge unravels a life-changing moment and its aftermath through three completely different perspectives, crescendoing to an exciting and shocking climax where class tensions collide with human decency, and a split-second decision can alter a life forever.
Inis Nua is excited to introduce red-hot Irish playwright Sonya Kelly to Philadelphia audiences!
