In a place where everyone knows your name you can't forget who you are.

Life, love and loss in a picture postcard town are laid bare in this heartbreaking but darkly comic new play.

Through a series of interweaving accounts For Once cuts to the heart of a family, and a community, turned upside down by unimaginable tragedy.

For Once is Tim Price's debut play. His other projects include Salt, Root and Roe for Domnar Trafalgar (2011) and The Radicalisation of Bradley Manning for National Theatre Wales (2012). 

For Once premiered in 2011 at Hampstead Theatre and is directed by the new Traverse Artistic Director, Orla O'Loughlin.

  • An elegant, elegiac three-hander winds, with wry humour and occasional mineshafts of buried feeling... Impressive stuff all round' ****
    Evening Standard (Critics' Choice)
  • A funny, but deeply sympathetic piece... But it is also laugh-out-loud funny in places in Orla O’Loughlin’s deft production, a fine cast delivers it beautifully." ****
