DRY: Trailer
DRY is a new play written by Gaye Poole and the subject of the first series brought to you by Human Story Theatre.
The play focuses on James and Ellen Wilson who find themselves indulging in one dinner party - and one bottle of wine - too many. When supper talk turns from light and amusing to barbed and accusatory is it time for them to think about their alcohol intake?
This 5 episode podcast series goes behind the scenes, exploring the issue of middle-aged, middle-class drinking and highlighting the real human stories behind the ethos of the play.
Join Amy & Gaye as they chat to people who have real life experience of alcoholism and the organisations out there that offer help and support.
