Nuala
Stage adaptation of Hugo Hamilton's account of Nuala O'Faoláin's final Berlin trip, intimate and reflective
Written by Hugo Hamilton Directed by Andrew Flynn
"I have friends and family, I am in this wonderful country, I have money, there is nothing much wrong with me except I am dying."
NUALA, adapted from the novel Every Single Minute, is an uplifting and heartbreaking account of Irish writer Nuala O'Faoláin's trip to Berlin the month before she passed away from cancer.
A story of a candid friendship, memory and intent.
"Hamilton's story, a slightly fictionalised account of his 2008 trip to the city with the dying Nuala O'Faoláin, is a tender one. Ordinary moments take on great significance in this tale, which is as much about living in the moment as it is about revisiting the past." - Belinda Smith, Sunday Times
"Hamilton's warm attentiveness makes this a loving homage to an indomitable woman." - Metro
"A world not only haunted by death, but also by beauty and the strangeness of being alive." - Colm Tóibín
