The Bridge House Theatre presents the world premiere of Luke Adamson's darkly comic new play - The Unkillable Mike Malloy From the award-winning team behind some of London's most acclaimed fringe productions comes a jaw-dropping true story you have to see to believe. New York City, 1933. The Great Depression has hit hard, and three down-on-their-luck businessmen hatch a chillingly clever plan: take out life insurance policies on a homeless Irish drunk named Mike Malloy... and then help fate along. The problem? Mike won't die. Day after day, drink after drink, "Iron Mike" keeps coming back for more, baffling his would-be murderers and turning their scheme into a spiraling farce of failure, frustration, and increasingly bizarre attempts at foul play. Told in the shadowy, stylish world of film noir - with tongue firmly in cheek - The Unkillable Mike Malloy is a thrilling theatrical rollercoaster: part black comedy, part true-crime caper, and entirely unforgettable. Come for the laughs. Stay for the gasps. Witness the legend of the "Rasputin of the Bronx." PLEASE NOTE THERE IS NO PERFORMANCE ON SATURDAY 19TH JULY

Since you’re here…

… we have a small favour to ask. We don't want your money to support a hack's bar bill at Abattoir, but if you have a pound or two spare, we really encourage you to support a good cause. If this review has either helped you discover a gem or avoid a turkey, consider doing some good that will really make a difference.

You can donate to the charity of your choice, but if you're looking for inspiration, there are three charities we really like.

Show me the charities

Mama Biashara
Kate Copstick’s charity, Mama Biashara, works with the poorest and most marginalised people in Kenya. They give grants to set up small, sustainable businesses that bring financial independence and security. That five quid you spend on a large glass of House White? They can save someone’s life with that. And the money for a pair of Air Jordans? Will take four women and their fifteen children away from a man who is raping them and into a new life with a moneymaking business for Mum and happiness for the kids.
