BRIMSTONE AND TREACLE
WED 5 - FRIDAY MAY 7
MILK 8.00PM


Following the sell-out success of Glengarry Glen Ross, Rawlife Theatre Company return with a dynamic presentation of Dennis Potter’s Brimstone & Treacle in Belfast’s Milk nightclub.

Banned by the BBC due to its controversial content, forget boring predictable soaps, if you want an white knuckle theatre that covers guilt, infidelity, Satan, the National Front and biscuits then look no further.The Bates’ only daughter Pattie is physically disabled following a ‘hit & run’ 2 years previously and they now live a pressure cooker existence caring for her.

Suddenly a young stranger enters their life to revel their dark secrets and a few of his own. This is a play of paradoxes and contradictions, blind faith, good and evil and the danger of miracles, simply unmissable!

Ticket £7.00/£5.00 available from the Festival Office on 028 9023 2403 and Belfast Welcome Centre on 028 9024 6609
