In Loving Memory at Hayes Theatre

The loss. The love. The unbearable rage and surprising hilarity; In Loving Memory is a celebration of the many shapes, colours and faces of grief. Through a series of original songs, accompanied by a live band, star and writer Mia Morrissey invites us on a journey through, under, around, and beyond the stages of grief; revelling in the catharsis, humour and theatricality of funerals, musicals, life, and death. Morrissey, Director Sam Hooper, and Musical Director Andrew Worboys, introduce grief in her abounding forms: A sister, forlorn as she is flourishing; A niece; explosive as she is exhausted; A mother, lost as she is lucid; A partner; messy as she is masochistic but above all grief is a friend. A lonely, beautiful, ugly, performative, ridiculous, unfathomable friend And its about time we let her in and let her out. So come dressed in your finest blacks and be prepared to laugh at all the wrong things, clap when you maybe shouldnt, ugly cry off the mascara you shouldnt have worn in the first place and relish a night of grief in all hermessy beauty.
