Colchester Theatre Group. 90m.
A dying mother tries to organise her funeral with her dysfunctional family.
On the surface a rather morbid 90 minutes, but done in a very commendably understated manner, where the naturalism slightly goes too far and undermines intonation among the younger actors, but there are plenty of laughs to be had, and the inevitable grimness is omnipresent but never overbearing. I've rarely seen a piece of theatre that captures a genuine household atmosphere so successfully.
