In a story about falling in love and proving it to the government, Edinburgh Fringe winner Sonya Kelly relates a tearfully funny, tender memoir about securing an Irish visa for her Australian partner, Kate.

Join her madcap odyssey from the stony townlands of Ireland to the tropical depths of the Queensland bush as she and Kate take on ‘the visa people’ and travel the long and winding road of bureaucracy to prove their love.

It’s a tricky business coming from opposite ends of the earth. It takes an Olympian will and the heart of whale, but above all else, paperwork. It takes a hell of a lot of paperwork.

Sign up for a ticket now and see paper-pushing at its most romantic.
