In Love and Craic, Carlyn Rhamey delivers a stunning display in solo storytelling. With nothing but an empty stage and her relentless charisma, Rhamey whisks the audience away on a journey through the hills of Ireland and the coasts of Scotland. It’s a one-woman show, but it feels like an entire world comes alive before your eyes. The use of her descriptive dialogue is able to bring the story to life in such a captivating way that I kept wanting more.

What makes Love and Craic truly unforgettable, though, is how hilariously relatable it is. Rhamey explores the trials and triumphs of solo travel for all the comedy and chaos it has to offer. From awkward encounters, to travel mishaps, and unexpected friendships each piece of the story is delivered with the perfect combination of wit and humor. But beyond the laughs, there’s a deep and powerful emotional core. Rhamey’s expressions of vulnerability, joy, loneliness, and gratitude are so raw and genuine that you feel everything with her, as if you're experiencing it first hand.

Her performance is more than just storytelling, it's the transportation into the world of her journey. She has a special gift in making a room full of strangers feel so connected to her story. Love and Craic isn't just a love letter to Celtic culture and travel, but also the human connections that make both so meaningful.
