We try to change ourselves, believing that we would be better if we were different. We assume we understand the other person’s actions but don’t dare to ask them about it. We push forward because we need the other to find our place in the world. Real relationships are not about ticking off a checklist. They are about discovering genuine connection amid the chaos that life can be.

In this theatrical adaptation, loosely based on the bestselling book and acclaimed series Normal People by Sally Rooney, A-Way Productions wants to address these universal questions and feelings. The story follows two people, who fall in love in high school and whose lives remain intertwined. It tells about their struggles to be both with and without each other, but it is mostly about finding a place in the world and the difficulties /challenges that inevitably come with that.
