RUM

A captivating new play by Joe Mallalieu

Meet Danny, plastering since he was a kid, not scared of anything, he's RUM. Danny's been up all night and how he's rushing to finish a job before he gives the speech of his life.

RUM is a darkly humorous and powerful new play that wrestles with masculinity, mental health and addiction in the trade.
