For once

In a small country town three boys die from a gang of four. Sid, who's left behind, is struggling to cope with his loneliness, trying effortfully to stay normal and hoping to manage the feelings of his worried parents April and Gordon. Life, love and loss in a picture postcard town is laid bare in this heartbreaking but darkly comic play. Through a series of interweaving accounts 'For Once' cuts to the heart of a family, and a community, turned upside down by unimaginable tragedy. Tim Price's debut play, it premiered at the Hampstead Theatre, London in July 2011.
