Picture yourself as a bartender, sipping top-shelf whiskey and watching your customers descend into nightly oblivion. Your heart is broken by the world around you and, leaving the whiskey aside, you hatch a devious, unthinkable plan of escape…

A dark, boozy, grimly funny tale from the sodden depths of the Los Angeles underworld, blending a live soundtrack (devised and composed by the cast), detailed mime and the heart-wrenching humour of Patrick deWitt.

Ablutions is Winner of last year's Exeter Ignite Festival Critic's Choice Award.

★★★★
The Bristol Post

“This multi-dimensional spectacle is impeccably acted and left me awe-struck. It is true that, the more you analyse this performance, the more you will get out of it – and I have been left gripped by this poignant portrayal of a humble barman’s life.”
Lichfield Festival

“The production shows life warts and all but with real humour
and respect for the original source material.”
