MY MOTHER’S FUNERAL: THE SHOW

My Mother's Funeral: The Show by Kelly Jones

“Want to bury your mum? That’ll be £4,000.”

28 January — 15 February, The Yard Theatre

Abigail can't afford for her mum to be dead. No, really. It's four grand just for the funeral. Extra for flowers. Even more if you want sausage rolls.

And if you’ve got no money: a council plot and an unmarked grave.

The solution? Turn her grief into content. Write a play from her ‘unique working-class lens’. Package her dead mum into a nice neat story. Sell tickets.

Following a sell-out Fringe First winning run at the Edinburgh Fringe, Kelly Jones's razor-sharp new play rips into life’s final inequality and asks what happens when your loss becomes someone else's entertainment.
