About the Show

A dark comedy about loss & sibling rivalry in the wake of a familial death.

Hours before their mother’s funeral, the Yeung siblings get together for the first time in years, only to discover that they are not getting the inheritance they thought they were about to receive. It seems as if their mother only has £44 to her name and her house is due to be repossessed - so where has all the money gone? Tensions escalate as they race to find it, uncovering ugly truths and shocking family secrets along the way.

Inspired by true events, 'WORTH' asks the question: where do you put your worth?

This production explores themes of death and generational trauma and references child abuse, sexual abuse, and drug misuse.

Critic Reviews (3)

"As each mundane object is pulled out from the mess, characters reveal some significant – and usually traumatic – memory associated with it, every item in the claustrophobic house serving as a reminder of the misery the family has survived."

"The play’s question is a worthy one – but the answers are provided with too heavy a hand."
