In Dublin, a city humming with possibility, Kat is starting over. Between lost friends, stray cigarettes, and a handsome busker, she finds herself caught between who she was and who she might become. Blending storytelling, music, and audience participation, this autobiographical piece captures the humour, heartbreak, and hope of beginning again. A funny, tender, and charming story about love, chance encounters, and the glow of something new.
"A hilarious, heartwarming and poignant one-woman show about finding yourself in unlikely places, steeped in the wit and energy of Dublin. Brilliant!" -James, Hastings Writers Workshop.
