Picture yourself as a bartender, sipping top-shelf whiskey and watching your customers descend into nightly oblivion. Your heart is broken by the world around you and, leaving the whiskey aside, you hatch a devious, unthinkable plan of escape...

Previously seen in our Studio in 2013 after development through Bristol Ferment, Ablutions is a dark, modern drama, adapted from the novel by Man Booker shortlisted author, Patrick DeWitt. A grimly funny tale from the sodden depths of the Los Angeles underworld, Ablutions blends a live soundtrack with detailed mime and DeWitt's heart-wrenching humour.

Winner of Ignite Theatre Festival's Critic's Choice Award.

"Ablutions is a beautiful sleazy tale of personal decay and domestic despair" - ***** The Skinny

"Warmth & inventiveness that are wholly satisfying" - **** The Stage

"A captivating postcard of intoxicated America" - **** Exeunt
