Synopsis (No Spoilers)
If I Could Go is a sweeping, contemporary reimagining of the Irish myth of Tír na nÓg — a tragic story in which Oisín, an Irish warrior, finds the love of his life in Princess Niamh, a goddess from a timeless "otherworld". In the original myth, Oisín traverses the crossing between their worlds to live with Niamh in this mythical Land of Youth. But a few years later when he misses home and returns to the mortal world, he finds that centuries have passed, and he ages instantly and crumbles to dust the moment his feet touch the ground.
If I Could Go modernizes the story with new settings, characters, and twists, all while honoring its mythical origins. In our story, when Oisín (now a timid Dublin bookshop clerk) and Niamh find themselves bound by magic and misinformation, they are drawn into a dangerous space between their worlds, leading them to a confrontation with a villainess of sorts, Líadan, whose love has twisted into a prison of grief, and must face difficult choices as lovers and as individuals.
This is a musical about bravery that lives outside of battles: the courage to tell the truth, to let go, to hope again, and to choose love without guarantees.
If I Could Go will leave you smiling through tears as you reflect on your relationship with loss, and the power in all of us to reframe grief as an expression of love. Featuring a modern pop-Celtic score and a story that blends fantasy with humor and heartfelt humanity, our show aims to deliver a deeply meaningful and unforgettable theatrical experience.
