Mick awaits Trish in his seaside bedsit in dreamy Bettystown, Ireland. They’ve agreed to start over again, so it’s party time! Will it be bubbles for a happy ever after or will sparks fly? Life has left Mick speechless, but in his silence lies a story. Amidst childhood falsehoods, Mick sifts through fragmented memories as he struggles to find the words for a very important day.

The Words Are There sensitively but powerfully explores a modern day taboo subject. The play sold out at the Edinburgh Fringe, earning multiple 5 star reviews, was shortlisted for the prestigious Edinburgh Bobby Award and was named a Top 5 Edinburgh show by The List Magazine.
