A co-production with Trafalgar Theatre Productions a new play by Natasha Gordon
Following a smash-hit run at the National Theatre, Nine Night, Natasha Gordon’s ‘remarkable debut play’ (Evening Standard) transfers to the West End. Roy Alexander Weise directs a cast of seven, including Cecilia Noble as the ‘gloriously funny and formidable Aunt Maggie’ (Independent), in this touching and exuberantly funny exploration of the rituals of family.
Family, food, music and mourning.
Gloria is gravely sick. When her time comes, the celebration begins; the traditional Jamaican Nine Night Wake. But for Gloria’s children and grandchildren, marking her death with a party that lasts over a week is a test. Nine nights of music, food, sharing stories – and an endless parade of mourners.
“This play is a gift. The cast delivers perfect undulations of comedy and heartache” The Stage
