Five hundred miles.
Four cups of coffee.
Two lonely strangers.
One hell of a journey.

Love is an act of courage. Based on the play “Phoenix”, written by Scott Organ, Somewhere… follows Bruce and Sue, who meet up again four weeks after an uncharacteristic one-night-stand in Singapore.

Sue only has this to say to him: “one, I had a great time with you that night” and “two, let’s never see each other again”. Thus begins a 500 mile journey well beyond the confines of their carefully structured worlds.

Bruce is fuelled by an overwhelming but undefined compulsion to join her in George Town. Sue is reluctantly charmed by his persistence, but steadfast in her resolve to keep him at bay. Both are forced to consider a whole new world of possibility, though not one free of difficulty and loss.

Directed by Siddhant Lahiri, who stars as Bruce opposite Adi Amon Mesika as Sue, and presented by Curtain Call, Somewhere… is the story of an unlikely romance, that somehow blossoms into a dramatic comedy about courage.

Somewhere… plays from 11th to 13th August 2023 at the Drama Centre Black Box. Tickets available from SISTIC
