Wet House Written by Paddy Campbell Directed by Max Roberts Designed by Gary McCann

How do you keep your head when everyone else is off theirs?

One of the Guardian’s Top 10 Plays of 2013, Wet House makes a triumphant return to Live Theatre following it’s sell out world premiere last year.

When Andy, an idealistic young graduate, gets a job in a wet house, a homeless hostel where residents can drink alcohol, he is plunged into a twilight world where the rules about what is right and what is normal have become a little blurred. And that’s just among the other staff.

Based on his own first-hand experience working in a wet house, Paddy Campbell’s award-winning original debut full length play asks who will look after the people that no one else will look after?

Wet House, a comedy tinged with sadness and tragedy, won three awards at the 2013 Journal Culture Awards – Paddy for Writer of the Year, Wet House for Performance of the Year and Joe Caffrey for Performer of the Year.
