New Room Theatre

New Room Theatre in association with Showroom present Blackout by Mike Jeary.

My first drink seemed to unlock something. I threw up, went home, woke up with a stinking hangover the next morning and thought; ‘that was fantastic, when are we doing it again?

Meet the woman who finds herself urinating off the top of the Scott Monument in Edinburgh. The man who nearly burns down a stranger’s kitchen. The mother who almost beats her son to death in a drunken rage.

Blackout is the true story of real alcoholics, and the story of their recovery. At once hard-hitting, brutal, funny, touching and honest: Blackout is based entirely on interviews conducted with recovering alcoholics.
