Description

Abigail's mum is dead, but the cost of the funeral is a different story. In fact, it's a staggering £4,000, with extra for flowers and even more for sausage rolls. To afford it, Abigail must write about her mum, a raw and honest story from her unique working-class perspective. Kelly Jones's play, My Mother's Funeral: The Show, tackles the inequalities we face around death and the cost of turning our loved ones into art. It's a play that will make you feel uncomfortable, but also necessary. This play was co-produced by several theatres and premiered in 2024 at the Belgrade Theatre, Coventry, before embarking on a UK tour, including a run at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, where it won a Fringe First Award and a Summerhall Lustrum Award.
