When it comes to scattering their mother’s ashes, three siblings are hit with a bombshell revelation that turns their world upside down
A play that celebrates the two faces of theatre. This remarkable piece is based on the very simple premise that ‘it’s not what you say, it’s the way that you say it’
The first act is a full-blown, larger than life comedy. Then, after the interval, the characters swap round and it’s repeated as a serious drama. The difference between the two Acts is astonishing.
The play was toured briefly in 2023 as a script in hand performance and the audience reaction was electric. Hence the tour in 2025
How can the same story, performed by the same actors, saying exactly the same words, be so so different? There is only one way to find out…

The Heron Theatre
It was a sellout performance. All the seats bar the disabled space were sold by Wednesday. This is exceptional for a new play

The first half makes you laugh and laugh, but in the riveting second half you learn the truth

Blown away — it was so funny, and so shocking to see it again so different
* * * * *
Brilliant how it mined the ancestry of childhood

The difference between the first half and the second half was extraordinary, utterly fascinating to see how the same words can have such different meanings

Amazing! Makes you question everything you thought you knew about language

I thought it brilliant. So fascinating watching what felt like a totally different play. Funny how it effected not just the immediate relationships on stage but put a different spin on all the off stage ones too. A really interesting look at grief and how we all use humour to mask
