Presented by Unpacked
8pm

A tale of tea stains, stiffs and brotherly love.

Keith, the estranged son, has returned, bringing a whole lot of trouble with him for his long-suffering brother Henry.

Dad, the head of funeral directors Hall and Son, looks set to need his own services very soon and, to Henry, it seems a little white lie might be enough to get rid of his short-tempered, live-wire brother.

Unfortunately, nothing goes quite how he planned as the interloper decides he wants to join the family business. Disaster ensues.

Funeral Games is a gripping, fast-paced and comic combination of secrecy, betrayal and the ridiculous; an imaginative response to fractured male relationships and shattered families.

‘Unpacked are surging ahead of the pack, guns blazing… work of this calibre from a company so fresh and new is a rare beast’. Total Theatre
