Colder Than HereProgress Theatre presents:
Colder Than Here
by Laura Wade
Progress Theatre, Reading

Myra is dying. And she's determined to plan for herself the perfect funeral. Colder Than Here is about a family's reaction to the news that Mum is dying, and how they struggle to get to grips with the reality that they are about to lose the mother and wife who holds things together.What will life be like without her?

The characters are skilfully drawn and the play manages to be sad without being sentimental; moving and emotional but with a light touch. There is humour along the way, as well as tears. This heartwarming story is the first play written by Laura Wade, who went on to write Royal Court hits Posh and Breathing Corpses, also performed at Progress Theatre in 2010.
