SEND ME NO FLOWERS Comes to the Metro Theatre Next Month

Metro Theatre has announced that Send Me No Flowers, directed by Emma Graveson is coming to the Metro Theatre from February 2-24, 2024.

The Metro Theatre proudly unveils its' 5th show of the season, with a comedic production that promises laughter, warmth, and fun! "Send Me No Flowers" is set to grace the Metro Theatre's stage from February 3rd to February 24th, 2024. As a prelude, an exclusive discounted preview performance will be held on Friday, February 2nd, 2024.

"Send Me No Flowers" transports you to 1962. This show is bursting with 1960s colour and charm while simultaneously celebrating voices that were marginalized at the time, in particular, that of women in the domestic sphere. This is set against the backdrop of everyone's favourite humorous subject - death. Each character in this play faces the supposed reality of George's death in their own unique way, some healthy, some not so much. Director Emma Graveson hopes that this play inspires audiences to reflect on living a good life, dying a good death, and celebrating the people who make that possible. Graveson wants to "put the fun back in funeral And this is no laughing matter - we are all dead serious here." The play by Norman Barasch and Carroll Moore, had a brief run on Broadway in 1960. Later, it was adapted into a hit romantic comedy film in 1964, starring Rock Hudson and Doris Day.
