"Original and beautifully observed... balances raw emotion with a deliciously delicate black humour" - The Stage

Nobody can ignore the fact that Myra is dying, but in the meantime life goes on. There are boilers to be fixed, cats to be fed and the perfect funeral to be planned. As a mother researches burial spots and biodegradable coffins, her family are finally forced to communicate with her, and each other, as they face up to an unpredictable future.

Laura Wade’s beautifully poised family drama finds every opportunity for life and laughter in the process of grieving that comes before death – a testament to family, relationships and finding light even in the darkest of times. The enormity of terminal cancer and the mundanity of everyday life collide to create as much comedy as emotion in this tender, unabashedly truthful and life-affirming play.
