What happens when the past comes back to haunt the present? That’s the subject of Carey Crim’s play, first produced in the US in 2018. It follows Eleanor, whose boyfriend thinks he is helping when he hires a private investigator to find out about the father that Eleanor has never known, not even his name. But once the truth and past trauma is revealed it cannot be buried again. Crim’s meaty play got some very good reviews on its US premiere and was praised for transcending issue drama in its study of who we are, and whether knowing where we come from impacts on our identity.

About Never Not Once

All-American student Eleanor has the best moms in the world. She’s bright, funny and completely happy apart from one small thing: she wants to know who her father is. When her boyfriend Rob hires a private investigator to help find him, the family are forced to confront an unexpected and explosive answer to the question “Where do I come from?” Winner of the Jane Chambers Award for Feminist Writing and finalist for the Eugene O’Neill Award in America, this poignant and important story is all about facing the traumas of the past and finding unexpected grace. Age Recommendation: 15+
