What does it mean to be alone and how do we find our way back to each other?

Jennifer Walshe and Philip Venables’ bold new music-theatre work brings together six extraordinary performers in a kaleidoscope of stories, memories and lives across time. Funny, raw and deeply moving, The Alonetimes is a vivid portrait of loneliness, love and belonging.

The Alonetimes journeys across time, place and memory - a Bronze Age druid summons the dead; a Gen Z woman confronts the isolation of a failing relationship; a New York dancer looks back on the life he imagined for himself. Their stories, and many others, weave together in a kaleidoscopic exploration of loneliness, love and human connection.

Funny, raw and deeply moving, The Alonetimes is a vivid portrait of loneliness, love and belonging.
