Description
One Wedding. One Funeral. Zero Boundaries.
Meet the Hendersons, a happily dysfunctional family, reuniting for their dad's third (or fourth?) wedding. But nobody expects the death of his bachelorhood to become an actual funeral… It would be a waste of the hotel function room not to repurpose it, right?
Hailed as Saltburn meets Schitt's Creek, this is Rosie Day's second play after Instructions for a Teenage Armageddon which premiered at Southwark Playhouse before transferring to The Garrick. With Day's signature 'laugh-a-minute' humour (WhatsOnStage), this new, searingly sharp dark comedy cuts deep into family relationships.
This edition was published to coincide with the world premiere production at London's King's Head Theatre in March 2025.
