Irish Repertory Theatre Presents: Summer New Work Festival Readings of 5 plays in 5 days, Spotlighting LGBTQ+ voices: Once Before I Go by Philly McMahon Told against the backdrop of Dublin’s burgeoning gay rights movement of the 1980s and 1990s and the contemporary LGBTQ+ community of today, Once Before I Go charts the close friendship of Lynn, Daithí, and the luminous Bernard, and sits on the exhilarating edge between comedy, tragedy and melodrama.Exploring the fragile yet resilient bonds of Irish queer lives across three decades in Dublin, London and Paris, the play steps between the early days of the AIDS crisis and today’s LGBTQ+ community, living in an era of marriage equality, gender self-determination, and untransmittable HIV, at once political, joyous and heart-breaking, Once Before I Go honors the fabulous people we lost along the way, and celebrates those who fight on.
