DAYS OF WINE AND ROSES
presented by TRON THEATRE COMPANY + THEATRE JEZEBEL
a new version by OWEN McCAFFERTY
designed and directed by Kenny Miller
with Keith Fleming + Sally Reid
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. An exciting whirlwind of discovery startes to spiral out of control as alcohol takes its grip.
'We were like movie stars - I used to imagine we didn't walk, we glided - now all we do is stumble - it wasn't meant to be like this'.
Theatre Jezeble brings its third production ot the Tron following on from its succes with Neil LaBute's Autobahn and John Patrick Shanle's Doubt. This adaptation by Owen McCafferty of Days of Wine and Roses was first produced at the Donmar Warehouse to critical acclaim in 2005. JP Miller's version was famously filmed in 1962 with Jack Lemmon and Lee Remick in the main roles.
'a classy production worthy of repeat viewing' ***** THE HERALD on Autobahn
'all three leading characters are brilliantly played...Keith Fleming superbly ambiguous as Father Flynn, and Sally Reid heartrending as the naive and idealistic young Sister James'. **** THE SCOTSMAN on Doubt
