About

Experience the Hit Edinburgh Fringe Play in Sheffield

A 90th birthday party that no-one seems to want.
Four generations of Northern Irish women, reunited under one roof.
A house full of hungry ghosts, with more than one skeleton in the closet.
Turn off your phones at dinner.

Karis Kelly's play is a pitch-black and twisted comedy of dysfunctional family dynamics, generational trauma and national boundaries.

Winner of the Women’s Prize for Playwriting Award 2022
