Once Again has officially opens its curtain

The curtain has officially risen on “Once Again... The More It Hurts, The More We Remember, The More We Love,”the latest spoken-theatre production from Muangthai Rachadalai Theatre.

For this production, producer Takonkiet Viravan brought together two accomplished women of the Thai theatre industry: Prida Manomaipiboon as playwright and Panpassa Thoopthian as director.

The play explores the intertwined relationships of three couples whose lives unfold within the same rental house across different periods of time. Though separated by years, their stories are seamlessly connected through a compelling script and innovative stagecraft, allowing audiences to follow each storyline with ease.

A special round of applause must go to the six lead actors—Boy Pakorn, Noon Siraphun, Euro Yotsawat, Tonkhao Chayuth, Aim Bhumibhat, and Perth Veerinsara—who deliver emotionally rich performances that keep audiences fully engaged throughout the show.

Leading the cast are Boy Pakorn and Noon Siraphun, who portray a married couple united by a shared dream. Their dedication to the roles is evident in every scene, as they bring remarkable emotional depth and chemistry to the stage. Together, they take audiences on a journey from tender and heartwarming moments to the devastating collapse of those dreams. As years of unresolved conflicts finally erupt, the pair create powerful dramatic scenes that leave audiences in tears and earn well-deserved applause for their deeply moving performances.

Meanwhile, Euro Yotsawat and Tonkhao Chayuth portray a relationship without labels. Renting the house as a place to escape and express themselves freely, the pair find themselves at odds when one seeks something meaningful while the other sees the relationship as nothing more than a casual arrangement. Their performances deliver a captivating mix of passion, humor, tension, and undeniable chemistry. Despite this being their first stage production, both actors prove themselves as impressive newcomers to the theatre world.

Aim Bhumibhat and Perth Veerinsara bring to life the familiar story of secretly falling in love with a close friend. Their natural chemistry shines as they portray best friends who share both joy and heartbreak. Charming, authentic, and emotionally nuanced, their performances effortlessly draw audiences into every moment, making them laugh, smile, and connect with the characters’ feelings. After all, many people have likely experienced the bittersweet feeling of falling for a friend at some point in their lives.

Simple in concept yet refreshingly innovative in execution, “Once Again” is a production that resonates on many emotional levels. The relationships and experiences depicted on stage may remind audiences of memories, feelings, and moments from their own lives.

The production invites viewers to reflect on their past and ask themselves one question: If you had one more chance, would you choose to go through the same pain again—or would you choose to start over?

“Once Again... The More It Hurts, The More We Remember, The More We Love” runs from 15 June to 5 July at Muangthai Rachadalai Theatre. Tickets start from 600 THB and are available now through all ThaiTicketMajor channels.
