Struggling actor David can't get enough, of anything. Alcohol, drugs, women, gambling - whatever it takes to escape the bark of the black dog. Days and nights are lived through a thick haze of drugs, alcohol and Shakespeare's soliloquies. A comedy-drama embracing human complexity Breaking The Castle traverses mental illness, addiction, recovery and making a place for ourselves in this world. Inspired by true events in the life of the playwright, this visceral, fierce, funny and uplifting tale features a tour-de-force performance from creator Peter Cook as a man yearning for connection.| 17 Oct 23 to 18 Oct 23 | Pleasance Inner London, Greater London Performance Details => Venue archive |
