Description
Born from our own frustrations, this somewhat tragicomedy invites you to laugh at the irony of our cost of living crisis and the most expensive funeral in the past century. Come into the world of three short plays all happening on that same day, and glimpse at the stories of everyday people, just like you. We guarantee relatable comedy, a love story and even an original song. New writing. New creatives. New perspectives.Please note that while all media gallery content is provided by verified members of the event, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society does not review or approve this content before it is posted.

A very well written, well acted piece. I thoroughly enjoyed it! Makes you reflect while also making you laugh - what you want from any good piece of art. Go see it!

A very well written and beautifully performed piece following three stories on one day. Very relatable, funny, thought-provoking and at times heartwarming! Absolutely worth a watch this year

This play is a solid fringe option. A really good collection of short plays that look mostly at class struggles on a personal level. Nothing too different or mind blowing but worth seeing if you want a nice bit of theatre.

Tiny space but a show that makes it feel huge!!
Great writing that feels like a slice of british life and is brought to life in mesmerising, fun, thoughtful and layered performances from three up and coming actors who have a great road ahead of them.
Definitely one to watch, would 100% recommend for anyone who wants to see young artists establishing themselves with great new writing

Fantastic show; Showing the political divide and cultural divide we are all currently living in today.
Actor and actresses are phenomenally present within the work, and I found myself amazed at how quickly they were changing their characters. Must see !

The amazing trio of actors transported me into each different setting seamlessly and brilliantly! Their emotions and characters read clearly, making me laugh and cry!
One moment I felt I was sitting in my living room watching a sitcom and the next I was stuck on the tube with them!
Wonderful performance, I can’t recommend it enough.
5/5

Wow. Amazing acting by all 3 performers that manage to transform seamlessly into different characters. Brilliant piece of new writing that's witty and profound. A very well constructed piece. Thoroughly enjoyed it. One of my top picks out of what I've seen at the fringe this year!

A fantastic show from start to finish. Three lovely pieces of writing complimented perfectly with very strong acting performances from all three of the talented actors. Best thing i’ve seen at the Fringe so far!

Found them flyering on the mile, took a chance and don’t regret it. Very impressed. The way the actors played different characters and make them believable was superb. Three enjoyable plays, that were very funny. Different and refreshing to the few shows I’ve seen so far at the fringe

A hidden gem. 3 separate plays in 1, all happening on the day of the queens funeral. Best acting I’ve seen at the fringe. Thoroughly enjoyed it from start to finish. Lots of laughs. Could benefit from a bigger audience. A must see.

Original concept of combining three mini plays into the one show though I would think of a clearer common theme for them + in my humble opinion, the first one seemed not to match as good as a second and third in the whole picture. Nonetheless, actors managed to create three separate micro worlds and showed me enagging stories which have made me laugh and reflect. Challenging thing about the acting here was also necessity of performing different characters by one actor and generally it was done smoothly. What I missed in the show, is her Majesty the Queen herself, I've expected more about the persona.
