Make It Count

Written by James Sweeney
Directed by John Hewer

“What if you died… and got one chance to win the love of your life all over again?”

When Jonas suddenly dies, he wakes in the afterlife—face-to-face with a biscuit-obsessed grim reaper stand-in who’s clearly chalked off the wrong name. Jonas wasn’t meant to go.

Given one shot to return, Jonas is sent back to his first date with his wife, Lily, in 2009.

The catch? She doesn’t know him yet.

James Sweeney’s script won the Scratch Night 2025, and will premier, at the Louth Riverhead Theatre in June 2026.

Open auditions will be held in Spring 2026. Sign up for our monthly e-letter for updates.
