'hypnotic enough to stop time itself'

'Tam Tully fights tragedy and treachery to save her family distillery from ruin by crafting that Holy Grail of whiskey, the perfect single malt.'

Love dry wit? Raw emotion? A right rollercoaster of a story? This is a 'blistering' dysfunctional family saga you won't forget. Set in the 8 generation Kingdom of Mourne Distillery, Newcastle, now now run by an Ulster brethren woman, it's all about men, women- and whiskey… what's not to love!

See the video for a taster! and there'll even be a wee free dram on the night :)

Greenaway has worked with Sandi Toksvig (QI), Georgia Pritchett (Succession) & Alice Birch (Normal People), represented NI at Bozar, Brussels through Arts Council NI & the Executive Office NI, Brussels, won Best UK Short Film at The Oxford International Film Festival, is a Finalist in the Pitch Film Fund and gamers might even recognise hers as the only NI voice in Ubisoft's WATCH DOGS: LEGION

WHISK(E)Y WARS sold out at the Lyric Theatre, Belfast, Edinburgh, Bangor and London in 2024 and was placed in the top 10% of the BBC Writersroom Open Call.

"Hypnotic, powerful, beautifully written… Go and inhale."

"Hairs standing on the back of the necks stuff"
