He Gave Me Heroin

He Gave Me Heroin

by James Aden

A new play by James Aden. Marion and Sadie have a good old natter along with pills, gossip, tea and biscuits. A sweetly nostalgic and surreal story of friendship, love, death, drugs, ageing and dementia. Honest and abstract, this piece takes the audience on a journey both shocking and poignant.

"My eyes never left the stage... This really is a fantastically written, superbly produced play with truly wonderful acting." ***** (Kings Head)
