Red Rum. Image shows left to right: James Murphy, Ryan Ward

A horse walks into a taxi. The driver tells him he's going to win the Grand National. History is made. From the minds of James Murphy and Ryan Ward, Red Rum: Glue or Glory is the irreverent retelling of a classic British tale of one man and his horse. Gritty, Northern and absurd, the play follows trainer Ginger McCain, a crackpot dreamer, as he steers Red Rum, a spooked racehorse haunted by failure and a debilitating bone disease, towards eternal glory as they embark on the journey of their lives... to Aintree.

A horse walks into a taxi. The driver tells him he's going to win The Grand National. History is made.

From the minds of Ryan Ward and James Murphy, Red Rum: Glue or Glory is the irreverent retelling of a classic British tale of one man and his horse. Gritty, Northern, and absurd, the play follows trainer Ginger McCain, a crackpot dreamer, as he steers Red Rum, a spooked racehorse haunted by failure and a debilitating bone disease, towards eternal glory as they embark on the journey of their lives... to Aintree.

The road to glory isn't always paved with gold, sometimes, it's paved with horseshit.

Come and see Red Rum at Just The Tonic's Just The Bottle Room! Winner of the British Comedy Guide's Pro Performance Award, James Murphy ("An elaborate, creative writer" - Chortle), and star of Fringe comedy poetry show Axolotl, Ryan Ward, have previously performed at the Edinburgh Fringe, Bournemouth Emerging Arts Fringe, and Comedy Nation.
