Days of Wine and Roses

by Owen McCafferty
directed by Chris Hurles

Days of Wine and Roses

Donal and Mona leave Belfast for a new start in 60's London. Strangers in an unfamiliar city, they fall in love with life, each other and the drink. An exciting whirlwind of discovery starts to spiral out of control as alcohol takes its grip.

Owen McCafferty's brilliant new version of J.P. Miller's Days of Wine and Roses - famously filmed in 1962 with Jack Lemmon and Lee Remick - premiered at the Donmar Warehouse in London's West End in 2005 and now at the Mary Wallace Theatre – don't miss this exciting production.

This is a play with adult themes and some scenes are graphic and we would suggest not suitable for children.

Saturday 13th to Tuesday 30th September 2008
Sunday 14th September 2008 at 4pm • Wed 16th - No performance
• Sat 20th - No matinee performance
