"I don't have a drink problem. Drink has a me problem" - Craig Ferguson.

Everyone has heard of the 27 Club. In July 2018, two months shy of his 28th birthday, Callum Hughes was nearly added to that list.

Join the acclaimed writer and performer as he takes you on a journey from a small Oxfordshire town to the bright lights of London as he attempts to discover who he is without looking through the bottom of the bottle.

Featuring original songs, Thirst is both a love letter to sobriety and a celebration of all things alcoholic. So pull up a barstool, order Callum a 0% lager and listen to his incredible story.

Thirst is brought to you by Fake Escape Theatre Company who have been nominated for multiple OffWestEnd Awards and a WhatsOnStage Award for Best Off West End Production in 2021 for SAVING BRITNEY, which went on to tour the UK extensively and transferred Off Broadway to New York's SoHo Playhouse in July 2022.

The Alma Theatre has been serving the community for 25 years and has never been the recipient of ACE or other funding and were unable to secure the Covid Arts Recovery Fund. We have been offering reduced rates, preferential box office splits and extended promo support to aid the recovery from the past year and a half. Your help will enable us to continue bringing fantastic stories to your local theatre. 50% of your donation will go to the Alma Theatre, and 50% to our inhouse company, Schoolhouse Productions.
