Beerey

The powerful Drama BEEREY comes to Ventnor Winter Gardens on Thursday 4th and Friday 5th May at 7.30pm after successful performances in London. It tells the human story of the so called "Freshwater Five" who were imprisoned after a drug smuggling bust in 2011. They maintain their innocence and this powerful one act play tells their side of the story. Tickets cost £10.

Welcome to the Beerey household: Dad's locked up, Daughter's knocked up, Mum's fed up... what next? Beerey is the true story of one family's fight for justice, and to stand strong together. Honest, raw, funny and heartbreaking. It makes you wonder, how far would you go to prove your family aren't secret international cocaine smugglers? It's all got to be a mistake, right?

VIP guest appearance
Clive Stafford Smith OBE (wiki) will be making a VIP special guest appearance at the show on 5th May.

He'll be talking and taking questions from the audience after the performance. Clive is the founder and director of Reprieve.
