Rum - Paperback

by Joe Mallalieu (Author)

This plaster will outlive me. I shape these rooms but in turn they have moulded me. Hiding secrets. Weak spots made to look strong.

Meet Danny, plastering since he was a kid, he's not scared of anything, he's RUM. Danny's been up all night and now he's rushing to finish a job before he has to give the speech of his life.

RUMis a darkly humorous and powerful new play that wrestles with masculinity, mental health and addiction in the trade.

RUMis published to coincide with the production at ARC Stockton Arts Centre and subsequent UK Tour in April-June 2025.
