Fortified Spirits
Doors Open at 7:15PM
From 7:30PM to 8:45PM
A heartfelt, reflective, equal parts funny and touching one-act play about love and loss.
It’s moving day for Alex and her partner, Jules, isn’t lifting a finger to help! Instead, he just stands around idly providing commentary. Normally Alex would be furious, but Jules has a very good excuse, he’s been dead for months. Alex has come to enjoy her time being haunted but Jules is beginning to get itchy feet.

Through chance encounters with strangers and reconnections with old friends, can Alex learn to live in a world without Jules, and does she want to?
Initially previewed with Leeds Arts Centre on 1st March 24, this is the first public production of Fortified Spirits by Treadlight Theatre.
“A truly wonderful piece of theatre – a deeply moving and beautiful insight into grief and humanity.”

“…had me in stitches and on the verge of tears!”
“For a play that’s very sad, it also makes me feel like maybe there is some hope in this crazy thing called life.”
“While the early goings are more comedic, by the end it becomes truly moving and poignant: you could hear the tears rolling down every audience member’s cheeks.”
