‘Yes, he's in a celebrations tub. No, he's not in with the bounties.’
Aaron, an unemployed entertainer, has stolen his dad's ashes and hidden them in a tub of chocolates. As he journeys toward St. Ives to scatter them, we discover the reasons behind his theft, and witness a suspenseful chase with the police hot on his heels.
Written and performed by Oscar Brudenall-Jones and directed by Esalan Gates (★★★★★, BroadwayWorld UK Nominee – Best New Production), this dark comedy explores grief in a post-pandemic world, as well as sperm bank strikes and why you shouldn't lose your rag at an old person.
Produced by To The Tooth Theatre, this is comedy with a bite.
‘A triumph from start to finish […] the play is a total delight, and I urge everyone – whether they have lost a loved one or not – to go to laugh, cry and experience this play.’ - London Pub Theatres ★★★★★
‘What made me love it is the bravery of writing so honestly about grief, and specifically grief caused by COVID-19 […] funny, honest, and moving.’ - All That Dazzles ★★★★
