A short monologue play from the multi-award-winning author of The Weir.

A young Irishman with a drink problem tells of three momentous days in his life when his drab nine-to-five existence is obliterated in an escapist binge which threatens to engulf him.

Rum and Vodka is available in the collection Conor McPherson Plays: One.
