Days of Wine and Roses (NHB Modern Plays): Stage Version

JP Miller's 1962 film Days of Wine and Roses, adapted brilliantly for the stage by Owen McCafferty. Donal and Mona leave Belfast for a new start in 60s London. Strangers in an unfamiliar city, they fall in love with life, each other and the drink. A whirlwind of discovery starts to spiral out of control as the young alcoholic drags his wife with him into the swamp of addiction - from which only one of them can escape. 'Unmissable... the best new play of the season' - Daily Express 'Owen McCafferty's version of Days of Wine and Roses is a slow burn. It unfolds patiently, relentlessly; the damage it shows goes deep' - Observer
