Joe White

Published by Nick Hern Books

1 Male 1 Female

A compassionate and unflinching study of love, addiction and memory

A chance encounter at an AA meeting and they're drawn to one another

Then later, once they're drinking again, they both have this almost-feeling that they might have met before – could even have been together, sometime in the past...

They should really get sober together and figure it all out

That would be a worthwhile project

Maybe they will

Just after one last drink...

Blackout Songs premiered at Hampstead Theatre, London, in November 2022

REVIEWS

"heart-meltingly warm" ~ The Guardian

"Five Stars... A dark, witty, indispensable drama... saturated with a gut-wrenching sense of how far alcohol addiction can plunge people, but lit up by flashes of humour... amply confirms the promise of Joe White's debut Mayfly" ~Telegraph

"Brave and original writing, hard-edged and unsentimental one minute, heart-meltingly warm the next. A funny kind of romantic tragedy that becomes compulsive to watch" ~ Guardian

"Fascinating....engaging, compelling and powerful" ~ British Theatre Guide
