Description
Tom's brother Luke is dead. This has upset many people, but it hasn't affected Tom in the way they expected. In fact, Tom didn't really like Luke at all. So, when he decides to bury him in the pavement of his estate, it may seem an odd choice. However, for Tom, it makes a strange kind of sense. As he sleeps out on the pavement, Tom encounters a range of people and experiences that challenge his perceptions of grief and loss. From planning officials to tramps, undertakers, police officers, and others, each encounter adds to the complexity of his emotions. This play is written specifically for young people and was premiered by youth theatres across the UK as part of the 2008 National Theatre Connections Festival. Written by Jack Thorne, Burying Your Brother in the Pavement is a thought-provoking exploration of grief, identity, and human connection.
