A Beginners Guide to Widowhood

Suria has lost her husband (she hasn’t misplaced him or anything – he’s dead)

Join her & the kids in Turkey, on what will become “the worst holiday ever”. A trip fraught with new challenges: navigating bad advice, sympathetic head tilts, and the ‘W’ word.

Unfortunately, the turbulent dynamics of a newly fractured family aren’t the kind of baggage you can just stow away neatly in the overhead compartment…

A Beginner’s Guide to Widowhood is a dark, but uplifting one-woman show exploring the experiences of young widows, loss, and why it’s okay to talk about death.
