GAMBLE
Theatre performance
“A Shame-Smashing Delight Of Hilarity” ★★★★★ The Indiependent
Gamble is a glittering, glamorous peek into the spectacular world of online gambling.
A bittersweet show about addiction and its effect on families, friends and communities.
There’s a girl who used to think gambling was all about big wins at the village monthly bingo.
Without realising it, it’s made it way into the girl’s home, her relationship, her joint account.
Based on a true, personal story and inspired by accounts of industry experts,
health professionals, people in recovery, and their loved ones,
Gamble is a spangling whirlwind of flashing lights and big wins.
“A Rollercoaster of Emotions, Laughter, Consciousness and Awareness” ★★★★★ A Young(ish) Perspective
