Join Helen for the launch of the published playtext of Buckled, released by Salamander Street Press as part of WoWFEST26.
Date: Wednesday 27th May
Time: 17.30 – 18.30 (doors open 5pm)
Venue: Unity Theatre Bar
Originally commissioned by Unity Theatre for 'Up Next Festival' and later touring across the North West, 'Buckled' is a darkly funny, deeply human exploration of alcohol dependency and the relationships shaped by it. At once tender and unflinching, it examines the quiet pressures of a culture where there’s always an excuse for another drink.
During this intimate event, Helen will share extracts from the script and take part in a conversation about the play’s creation, development and journey to publication. Copies will be available on the night at a special discounted price.
Trigger warning: Alcohol dependency
Suggested age: 14+
