Staying Alive by Kat Roberts
Directed by Ellie Pitkin
Produced by Blackshaw Theatre Company
About
“There’s nothing worse than old friends...they always think they know exactly who you are.”
Mary had a son, now her son is dead, and that is all. But Jenn is hosting a dinner party, just like before, a chance to catch up. No pressure. Nothing big. Just old friends. It would be great to see you. If you’re free. If you’re ready.
Winner of Blackshaw’s 2014 Showcase Award, emerging writer, Kat Roberts, developed the script with support from Blackshaw Theatre company, and bereavement charity, SLOW. Darkly funny, and achingly tender, Staying Alive is about the loss of a child; about how in the wake of any interminable loss, we find ways to connect and survive; an exploration of love, honesty, family and grief.
“a beautiful and groundbreaking piece of theatre” – SLOW
“This is a company who really care.” – A Younger Theatre
