In the heart of Dublin's suburbs, a family finds itself at a crossroads, tangled in the web of Molly Black’s sudden disappearance. "There's Been a Little Incident" by Alice Ryan is a poignant and humor-infused debut that captures the essence of family dynamics, the complexities of grief, and the unexpected ways we find unity in moments of despair. As Molly, the flighty and free-spirited soul vanishes, leaving behind nothing but a cryptic note, her relatives—from the steadfast Granny claiming her throne atop a printer to Killian, tuning in from Sydney via Zoom—converge in Uncle John's cramped living room, embroiled in a chaotic yet heartwarming debate over their next move. With each character—a mirror to the myriad faces of love, loss, and self-discovery—Ryan weaves a rich tapestry of narratives that is as deeply Irish as it is universally resonant. Bobby struggles to assert his contentment in solitude against the family’s expectations, while Lady V dismisses the commotion over a thirty-year-old's life choices. Amidst the familial storm, Uncle Danny's silent battles with his past and John's unwavering resolve to never let go of a loved one again, especially not Molly who mirrors her mother more than she realizes, form the crux of a story that is as much about finding oneself as it is about finding each other. "There's Been a Little Incident" is a testament to the enduring spirit of family, the bittersweet dance of coming together and letting go, and the beauty that lies in the messiness of life.
