PREVIEW
MAKE IT COUNT
Writer: James Sweeney
Director: John Hewer
This June, at Louth Riverhead Theatre, Lincolnshire is writer, James Sweeney's debut play Make it Count; a three-hander, comedy-drama, about love, control and second chances.
Overview
When Jonas dies unexpectedly, an afterlife error gives him the chance to relive the last sixteen years of his life with his wife, Lily — while she remembers none of it.
Armed with knowledge of the future, he sets out to perfect their life together, only to discover that every attempt to control it drives them further apart. Guided by the Grim Reaper’s well-meaning but inexperienced stand-in, Jonas is forced to confront the consequences of his choices.
