When 30 years of family silence is broken Helen begins a detective-like quest to discover the hidden story behind her brothers suicide. The journey takes her back to her childhood, exotic Asian locations, a coroners court and the place where her brother died. As surprising details are uncovered, Helen grapples with loyalty, long-held beliefs and how much we ever really know about those we love. A fast-paced, candid, darkly comic and gripping play.

Ill be talking about it for a long time to come. The Wee Review *****'A very peaceful and life affirming way to spend an hour. Three Weeks ****'Strikes a perfect balance between grief and joy, and between love and anger. London Theatre 1 ****

Since you’re here…

… we have a small favour to ask. We don't want your money to support a hack's bar bill at Abattoir, but if you have a pound or two spare, we really encourage you to support a good cause. If this review has either helped you discover a gem or avoid a turkey, consider doing some good that will really make a difference.

You can donate to the charity of your choice, but if you're looking for inspiration, there are three charities we really like.

Show me the charities

Mama Biashara
Kate Copstick’s charity, Mama Biashara, works with the poorest and most marginalised people in Kenya. They give grants to set up small, sustainable businesses that bring financial independence and security. That five quid you spend on a large glass of House White? They can save someone’s life with that. And the money for a pair of Air Jordans? Will take four women and their fifteen children away from a man who is raping them and into a new life with a moneymaking business for Mum and happiness for the kids.
