About the Show
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? £4000 for the funeral, extra for flowers. Even more for sausage rolls.
Then, when a theatre pulls out of Abigail’s new project, she is asked to write about something else. Something 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 award-winning new play tackles the inequalities around death, and the cost of turning your life into art.
