Summary
The patriarch of the family has died, and now it's time for family and friends to gather and pay their respects, which means all the fun of a family gathering. Old rivalries will surface, revenge will be plotted, lovers will be revealed...all over a nice cup of tea and maybe a small slice of cake. This is England, after all...
Inspired by the film 'Death at a Funeral', this is a lighthearted black comedy about some of the great Facts of Life - death, love, and sandwiches.
