Stuck in the Middle with You

Bright Umbrella

2012. English writer Paula Davey receives an award from her fellow journalists for her ‘true life’ book, ‘Stuck in the Middle with You: An RUC Story’.

September 1996, Davey’s story begins with 5 RUC officers stuck in the back of a landrover during a riot at the top of Belfast’s Albertbridge Road. Over the course of the play we hear their stories – ordinary people caught in extraordinary times. Often darkly hilarious, the play confronts the harsher realities of life in the security forces in the 1990’s head on, with an unexpected and chilling ending.

“Stuck in the Middle with You takes us on a journey of discovery… trademark Northern Irish black humour leavens the intensity of the drama. It all has the tang and bite of real life… a thought-provoking piece of theatre directed by Trevor Gill.” – Jane Hardy, Belfast Times.
