 | Blackout Songs (NHB Modern Plays) 'You told me you loved me, once. You said you carried me. You remember that? You still carry me? Or did you drop me, somewhere along the line?' 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... A compassionate and unflinching study of love, addiction and memory, Joe White's play Blackout Songs was first performed at Hampstead Theatre, London, in November 2022, directed by Guy Jones. Joe White is a former Channel 4 Playwriting Award-winner whose play Mayfly (Orange Tree Theatre, Richmond) won Most Promising New Playwright at the OffWestEnd Awards. |
