‘This was the 3am phone call no mother wants to receive’
One shattered promise.
A high stakes thriller.
From New York Times best-selling author Tawni O’Dell comes the powerful true story of a mother desperately trying to hold her family together after a devastating event changes the course of their lives.
Amanda Abbington (Sherlock, Mr Selfridge) will lead an ensemble cast in this electric piece of new writing that mines the depths of human courage and the resolve to survive following a shattering incident. Directed by Park Theatre’s Artistic Director Jez Bond, this pacy theatrical page-turner propels the audience into the heart of an unmissable drama fuelled by tears, laughter, hope and love.
Tawni O’Dell is a bestselling author on both sides of the Atlantic with titles such as Back Roads, Coal Run and Sister Mine. Her work has been translated into fifteen languages and has been published in over forty countries.

FEATURED REVIEWS FOR When It Happens to You
Review: WHEN IT HAPPENS TO YOU, Park Theatre
9 / 10
When I walked out of When It Happens to You, all I wanted to do was hug my sisters. Part of me had forgotten I had seen a show, the other part couldn’t stop thinking about the last twenty minutes of it. That’s the sign of good theatre. Theatre that lights a fire underneath you, theatre that gets inside your head – such a reaction can only come from something truly impactful.
When It Happens To You – Park Theatre | Review
9 / 10
The play is superbly structured so that, at times, it is surprisingly upbeat and often very amusing, especially when she, as Tara in the play, is trying to complete a health questionnaire and comes to a full stop at Question 10 which asks her about how much alcohol she consumes. After much internal debate, she comes to the conclusion that we all come to when filling in similar forms! This lightening of the atmosphere means that the moments of agony and despair are all the more poignant, yet in the end, in spite of a denouement that no one expects, leave us feeling as positive as possible about life. This is a terrific play in every respect – and it is given a terrific production by all concerned.
