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.
