Colder Than Here, by Laura Wade, is a dark comedy about Myra who is dying but her husband and grown daughters are having difficulty coming to grips with the situation. As Myra researches burial places and coffins, her family are finally forced to communicate with her, and each other, as they face up to an unpredictable future. London critic Aleks Sierz says of "Colder Than Here, "Wade's original and beautifully observed play balances raw emotion with a deliciously delicate black humour."
It is odd to call a story about a terminal cancer patient likeable, warm, and witty. Director Robert Ashton and his cast have staged a bittersweet production of Colder Than Here that is filled with vulnerable performances. Laura Wade’s affectionately droll and delightfully strange dark comedy conveys how laughter can be a cathartic force that disarms grief.
