WHISK(E)Y WARS. Tragedy. Treachery. The perfect single malt.
Tam Tully fights tragedy and treachery to save her Ulster distillery from ruin by crafting the Holy Grail of whiskey, that perfect single malt.
‘Hypnotic enough to stop time itself’ - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ EdFringeReview
Following standing ovations in Dublin, London, Edinburgh and a sold out run at The Lyric Theatre, Belfast, award-winning actor-writer Joyce Greenaway is delighted to bring her ‘blistering’ Edinburgh Fringe solo show to Hawk's Well Theatre, for one night only! You might even get a wee dram to boot…
Laced with dry wit, casked in raw emotion, this is a story you won’t forget!
Joyce has worked at The Royal Court and major regional theatres with debbie tucker green (truth and reconciliation), and with Sandi Toksvig (QI), Georgia Pritchett (Succession) and Alice Birch (Normal People) and was recently chosen to represent NI theatre by Arts Council NI and NI Executive Office, Brussels, at Bozar, Brussels. Gamers might recognise hers as the only NI operative voice, Abrasive Genius, in Ubisoft’s WATCH DOGS: LEGION!
WHISK(E)Y WARS was recently placed in the top 10% of the BBC Writersroom Open Call.

It’s only day one of my time at Fringe Festival but I think I’ve already had my most memorable experience…

Just watched Whiskey Wars this afternoon and was in floods of tears pretty much the whole way through, it was amazing and I didn’t know I could be so drawn into a character so quickly, Tam felt so real! @JaeSkye
Oh my goodness, I am left in awe after seeing Joyce perform… So beautifully human in so many aspects. @TigerAMitchellactor-musician
Outrageously talented… a one woman show like no other… we were FLOORED! Popelei Theatre @hellopopelei
Hairs standing on the back of the necks stuff @stevenatkinson84 Producer, co founder Hightide, Long Acre Arts
I’d highly recommend for a gritty storytelling of family business, religion, whiskey, treachery and a twist of covid. Next ‘Happy Valley’? @CdeJonBriggs
Hypnotic, powerful, beautifully written… Go and inhale @JoMacsween
