BARFLIES
adapted from the stories and poems of
Charles Bukowski
adapted and directed by Ben Harrison

"Fiercely funny, unbearably sad and pitch perfect." 
***** Sunday Telegraph

"bravura theatre-making in every detail." 
***** The Times

A huge sell-out and award winning success during the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2009 for Scottish site-specialists Grid Iron, Barflies is a visceral look at the pains and glories or drunkenness and all the humour, horror, hope and devastation it can bring.

Drawn from the short-stories and poems of cult American writer Charles Bukowski, Barflies is a rumbustious encounter with his alter-ego Henry Chinaski and a bevvy of the women who shaped his life and work.

Barflies is touring to pubs and theatre bars all over Scotland and signals the company's first visit to Wales.  Be sure to catch it when it comes to a bar near you!

PLEASE NOTE:  Doors open 30 minutes before performance.  Please arrive in good time if you would like to buy a drink as the bar will close for orders 10 minutes before performance.   18+ Contains adult material
