Almost at the same time the first two plays of Laura Wade premiered at Soho Theatre and Royal Court. She became one of the most discussed and acclaimed debutants in London: Myra suffers from cancer in the terminal stage and insists on arranging her own economically correct funeral. But can she take care of her own family? While she, her husband and her two daughters go through the funeral places, tension in the family provides the story with a wider emotional resonance. The play successfully balances between seriousness and black humour.
