Book Synopsis



In this deeply moving and life-affirming tale, a mother must nurture her five-year-old son through an unfathomable situation with only the power of their imagination and their boundless capacity to love.

Written for the stage by Academy Award(R) nominee Emma Donoghue, this unique theatrical adaptation featuring songs and music by Kathryn Joseph and director Cora Bissett takes audiences on a richly emotional journey told through ingenious stagecraft, powerhouse performances, and heart-stopping storytelling.

Room reaffirms our belief in humanity and the astounding resilience of the human spirit.

This updated and revised edition was published to coincide with the Broadway premiere in Spring 2023.



Review Quotes




"Room soars! Visually arresting and emotionally rich, Emma Donoghue's Room is boldly realised for the stage ... harrowing ... astonishingly moving." --Toronto Star

"Emma Donoghue's adaptation of her novel works beautifully onstage, and the songs capture heightened moments with sensitivity. A story of survival and love - something we all need to hear more of at this time." --Now Magazine

"The most striking thing about Emma Donoghue's stage version of her award-winning novel, Room, is its intense imaginative quality... Kathryn Joseph's songs, co-written with Cora Bissett, burst from the texture of the play like some heightened form of speech... The story of Room is in some ways a harrowing one, that brings many in the audience to tears. Yet it is also a tremendously beautiful, vivid and uplifting show about the power of a mother's love" --The Scotsman

"Haunting and reflective music and lyrics. They emerge naturally from the narrative ... Compelling viewing (even in you know the ending.) This coproduction... is a triumph" --Times of London

"A strangely moving work about the power of imagination and the pain of adjustment to a new reality. ... I found the prospect of the play intimidating. In the end, I was deeply touched by its testament to human resourcefulness" --Guardian
