Content warning [May contain spoilers]

A chance meeting at an AA meeting ignites an intense connection between two lost souls, drawing them into a whirlwind romance. As they navigate their passionate bond, old habits resurface, and they begin to question whether their paths have crossed before. Struggling against their dangerous addictions, the two must confront their alcoholism and the haunting memories that bind them. With raw honesty and striking lyricism, Joe White's intense romantic tragedy Blackout Songs delves into the complexities of co-dependency, addiction, and the longing for redemption. A poignant exploration of how love can both save and destroy, inviting audiences to reflect on the fine line between desire and despair. 

This production is suitable for ages 16 and over.

By arrangement with Nick Hern Books.
