As the Snow Falls
written by Aidan McConville and Tom Messmer
As the Snow Falls follows Kenneth and Sam - two men from starkly different cultural backgrounds, both abandoned by society in very different ways. Despite their differences, they are ultimately united by shared grief and a love of music.
This comedic drama examines the shifting social landscape and its impact on an often over-looked demographic. Through the lens of an ever diminishing pub culture, Kenneth and Sam’s unlikely connection emerges from one man’s desperate search for meaning.
The play explores themes of cultural starvation, male isolation, suicide, toxic masculinity, and division through technology - ultimately questioning what happens when the arts are stripped away from the working class.
Our Story
Tom and Aidan met four years ago (on the stage, surprisingly enough) and have acted together in several plays since. Having been in and around acting and the performing arts their whole lives, it was always going to be a natural step to become inquisitive about writing. So when Tom approached Aidan in March 2024 about the possibility of writing a play together, he jumped at the chance and we set to work. Other commitments meant that we didn't actually get round to writing until August, but over the course of the next three months, they wrote 'As the Snow Falls'. It was first performed in January 2025 in front of a sell out crowd and they have taken feedback from that original 'Research and development', made some edits and stumbled upon what they think makes a pretty good show.
