Donal and Mona leave Ireland for a new start in 60’s London. Strangers in an unfamiliar city they fall in love with life, each other and the booze. In a play that is as funny as it is moving, an exciting whirlwind of discovery begins to spiral out of control as the bottle takes its grip.

This electrifying stage version of JP Miller’s original, breathes fresh vitality into this classic. Under the direction of Abbey Theatre Associate, Conall Morrison, Days of Wine and Roses explores with wit and empathy a terrifying yet life-affirming love triangle between two people and the booze.

“compelling play… played with great vivacity” – Irish Examiner

"..by the end the couple's fall has become almost unbearably personal." - The Sunday Times

"Owen McCafferty keeps to the cautionary line evinced by the play's title: the weeping and the laughter, the love and desire and hate, the path that emerges from a misty dream but only for a wile." – The Irish Times

"..it becomes an interesting study of life on the jar for this threesome – you, me and a bottle" – Evening Echo
