Funeral Teeth at Drayton Arms Theatre

Maybe you’ve lost your marbles… Or maybe you’ve found the most transformative piece of theatre that you’ll see this year. Probably both.

What and who are we allowed to grieve? And does that really matter?

Loss is the only truly universal experience. Whether it’s coming to terms with the passing of a loved one, tucking the first tooth you’ve lost under your pillow, or realising that you have no idea where your wallet is after spending a blurry night boozing at the pub - we’ve all been there. What’s more, we’re going to keep coming face to face with loss.

Lose yourself (geddit?) in the latest piece by Succulent Theatre, unpacking what loss looks like to them, what it looks like to you, and what it could look like for all of us.

Following the success of their debut show ‘NASTY: ‘Big’ girls being gross, mean and sexy’, the Succulent girlies are back with another queer, autobiographical, confessional piece of theatre that’s gut-busting and gut-wrenching in equal measure.

Death, grief and loss can be scary to talk about, but if we don’t - we just feel alone. And grief already makes you feel alone. It’s not all doom and gloom, though. This feel-good tragicomedy will remind you that life is a celebration and every loss you experience is an opportunity for you to grow.

Drugs, sex, love, family and friendship are at the centre of this contemplative work which really puts the ‘fun’ in funeral.

The stories shared are painfully true, often painfully funny, and will hold a mirror up to your own experiences in a way that you might not expect.

In their signature style, Succulent dexterously guides you through their losses from cradle to grave. Come watch them pick at a brand new scab and see what comes oozing out.
