My Mothers Funeral

About

Abigail's mum is dead. But it turns out she can't afford her to be.

Did you know how expensive it is to die? It's £4000 for the funeral. Extra for flowers. And even more if you want sausage rolls. Otherwise, she will get a pauper's burial.

Then, when a theatre suddenly pulls out of Abigail's new project, she is asked to write about something else. Something that will bring in audiences. Something more raw, from her 'unique working class lens.'

Yep. To afford the funeral, she has to write about her mum.

With power and playfulness, Kelly Jones's new play tackles the inequalities around death, and the cost of turning your loved ones into art.

Part of the Belgrade Theatre's See It First programme.

Including £1.50 booking fee.
