Join award-winning Irish playwright and actor David Gilna for an unforgettable evening of storytelling as he delves into the laughter and heartbreak that shape our lives. Through themes of grief, nostalgia, and the enduring power of humour, David asks the ultimate question: why do we tell the stories we do? A deeply moving and wildly entertaining night that will leave you laughing, crying, and craving more.
So why do we tell stories? Why does David I tell stories? Maybe it’s to make sense of the madness we call planet earth. Maybe it’s to hold on to the people we’ve lost. Or maybe, just maybe, it’s because stories are the only thing that last. The only thing that matters. Because we’re all in this mad, beautiful mess together.
After a string of sold-out shows at The Viking Theatre and The Civic Theatre, David’s thrilled to be bringing his new play to Liverpool’s Royal Court as part of #LIF2025 following his 2023 performance of Bolt From D’Blue.
Written by award-winning Irish playwright David Gilna and directed by Frank Allen.
“Some stories heal, some stories haunt, and some fill the room with laughter—this one does it all”, The Viking Theatre.
