Critics Review
Once Before I Go is a play that implores us to join the dance, to live fully, to live without judgment, to live well. * Irish Times *
McMahon’s dark-humoured, powerful play says more about Ireland than reams of opinion columns. * The Times *
A decades-spanning drama that showcases depth of character and emotional grounding. * Drama & Theatre *
