DETAILS:
Human Story Theatre in partnership with Turning Point presents 'DRY' by Gaye Poole.
The play is about the Wilson family, who might be middle class and middle aged - but there is nothing middling about their alcohol intake! Can they keep the ‘toxic' out of ‘intoxicated' and keep the family together, or is it a case of sorrows drowned?
James and Ellen Wilson find themselves indulging in one dinner party - and one bottle of wine - too many. When supper talk turns from light and amusing to barbed and accusatory, is it time for them to think about their alcohol intake? Observing all is Chloe, their teenage daughter, whose cello playing provides a live musical emotional barometer of the household.
One hour straight through, then the performance is followed by a Q&A session with guest professionals from Turning Point and other organisations to discuss the issues of the play, the impact of alcohol on communities as well as to let people know about services that can help. There will be some local references in the play too!
