‘There’s some Alphabites in the freezer. Pop the oven on. You can eat your own words.’
When four siblings reunite at their recently-deceased mother’s home with the intention of divvying up her possessions, a long-buried family secret explodes out into the open – challenging everything they thought they knew about themselves and each other.
True to form, Liv thinks she can bulldozer her way back to how things used to be. People-pleaser, Rob, just wants everyone to get along. But Michelle’s had enough of towing the fragile family line. And with prodigal son, Jonny, hellbent on pushing everyone’s buttons, they all look set to lose everything – their dignity included.

“Hilarious family drama that stays with you”
Audiences are absolutely enchanted by this brilliantly written dark comedy about four dysfunctional siblings navigating family secrets, lies and moral dilemmas. The play masterfully balances laugh-out...
Extremely well performed, particularly by Sally Phillips. Surprising, funny and challenging.
A moving show exploring themes of family, secrets and loss. Impeccably done with laugh out loud moments, throughout!
The layering of family relationships and choices, how the decision any one of them might make alone looks entirely different once the others are involved is of interest. The ending is perhaps tidier than it ought to be, but the exploration on the way there is engaging and down to earth. This would lend itself well to a six-part sitcom. These are enjoyable characters, and it would be satisfying to know more of them.
