My Mother's Funeral: The Show at SoHo Playhouse

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.
