BEWLEY’S CAFÉ THEATRE with Home You Go Productions is proud to present...
LOVE AND OTHER PROMISES
by Colette Cullen
LOVE AND OTHER PROMISES explores the complicated relationship between Rachel and Fiona, two women navigating co-parenting after an acrimonious breakup. When they find themselves spending time together again, old feelings and unresolved wounds begin to surface. As they grapple with betrayal, love, grief and the possibility of reconciliation, they must confront whether some relationships can ever be repaired – or whether letting go is sometimes the hardest act of love.
From the writer of WHEN RACHEL MET FIONA, Colette Cullen brings Rachel and Fiona back to the stage in this raw, touching and funny exploration of love, loss and what happens when the person you once loved is still very much part of your life.
