Buckled (en Inglés) - Helen Jeffery

Ruby doesn’t think she has a problem

Maggie’s almost six months into recovery

Then there’s Callum…..

Family, friendship and booze

Drinking to remember

And drinking to forget

How do you navigate sobriety in a world that revolves around drink?

Buckled follows three lives caught in the pull of alcohol: a son struggling to forgive, a mother facing sobriety one day at a time, and a friend edging towards her own reckoning. By turns witty, tender and devastating, Helen Jeffery’s play is an honest, humane portrait of dependence, denial and the fragile hope of recovery.

CAST: 3

DURATION: 60 minutes

A sharp, compassionate and darkly funny play about alcohol, denial and the damage hidden in plain sight. As a wedding approaches, old wounds resurface and loyalties are tested. Honest, unsettling and full of humanity, it explores addiction, family strain and the possibility of change.
