About the show
Hi, Mum! is a sixty-minute contemporary theatre play from professional company Pierrot Productions, performed at Fern Studio. Sisters Alba and Elspeth Brae have not seen each other since their mother's cancer diagnosis several years ago. They are reuniting at a funeral home viewing room to say goodbye together. With differing views on death and a difficult relationship with their late mother, the two clash as they try to find a way to work together. The show gently encourages audiences to become a little more comfortable with death and dying. Suitable for ages 12 and above.
Why see this show?
A quiet, honest play about grief, difficult siblings and the strange intimacy of a funeral home — accessible and human, with warmth beneath the difficulty.
