Onwards to the Stars

A wild comedy about the longing for better times by Northern Irish playwright Marie Jones, who became famous on London's West End and New York's Broadway. The story begins as an ordinary day in the lives of two care workers — but everything goes awry, and their routine shift transforms into a chaotic and at times absurd ride. The play combines grotesque black-comedy Irish drama with French farce full of improbable coincidences and surprising twists.
