Description

Two sisters have to navigate their way through their mother’s funeral and quickly find the warm embrace of their family turns into a seething snake-pit of selfish and self-absorbed relatives. Grandparents argue over whether the funeral reception will be a celebration of Marks and Spencer catering packs or a piece of Victorian Gothic tragedy. Jo and Ida dutifully march to death’s drumbeat, only to tumble as their delicate relationship cracks under the pressure. Izzy Tennyson, writer of award-winning ‘Brute’ and critically acclaimed ‘Grotty’, returns with Etch Theatre with this wickedly dark play about people behaving badly.
