You Saw Me Standing Alone

A chance meeting between two strangers leads to an unexpected connection and the sharing of an extraordinary love story. One begins to recount the story of the love - the once-in-a-lifetime relationship that seemed destined to last, until circumstances tore it apart. But is true love ever really lost?

A competition-winning, poignant and uplifting play, You Saw Me Standing Alone offers a substantial lead role for a female actor, alongside a younger, non-gender-specific role and an additional non-speaking part. One character has been written with an autism-friendly approach to performance, creating an accessible and rewarding acting opportunity.

Simple to stage with minimal requirements, the play has been performed by different groups and has consistently received very positive audience feedback for its warmth, characters and emotional impact.

You Saw Me Standing Alone was a winner at the 2022 Ilkley Playhouse 8x8x8 festival.
