Back to the Sky: a new play about the power of music to heal and repair the soul

Simon Frost • February 16, 2023

Back to the Sky is a powerful new play from local writer Johnny O’Hanlon, exploring friendship, love, and the power of music to heal and repair the soul.

Ciaran has a gift. A special gift. A gift to heal through the power of music. But…his life is unravelling and his relationship with Evelyn is falling apart. It needs the love of someone singular to change his life and steer him back from adversity.

 

Johnny O’Hanlon is the director of Back to the Sky and said:


Back to the Sky is a brand new play and a world première. It is a multi-faceted account of Ciaran’s remarkable gift: the ability to ‘hear’ the music of others, music that for them activates powerful emotions of things past, songs that forge deeply hidden sadness or trauma, the music will help them to recover and reveal memories that have been locked and stored away for too long because they are too painful.

 

“When Ciaran goes missing, it brings the two women in his life closer together; however, are the scenes we see enacted in front of us real or imagined?”

 

Back to the Sky is a story which will resonate with each and every one of us, enabling us to draw upon our own experiences with music and vinyl records; connecting our memories, emotions and life experiences with music.
