"The thing that most struck me was the simplicity of being human: that everyone is just trying to survive."

A tale for a modern age: early one morning on Putney Bridge, three strangers' lives collided for one fleeting second.

Inspired by real events, Once Upon a Bridge weaves a tale about human triumph and frailty, about the power of destiny and chance and why sometimes we choose to hate and other times, we choose to dance.

Sonya Kelly's critically acclaimed play was premiered in The Mick Lally Theatre, Galway in February 2021, while under lockdown due to Covid-19. It was live streamed to homes in 36 countries around the world.
