The Brewery Manning Jordan

About This Show

The Brewery is a piece that unpacks the role of alcohol in our society. Through 5 characters whose lives have been affected by booze, the play studies the delicate balance between the fatalities and the fun simultaneously derived from the substance. In a similar fashion to my other works, the piece is a dark comedy and has themes of sexuality and queerness, as well.
