01 / The story

About the show

Friendship. Mental health.
A conversation that matters.

Mossy feels trapped by his job, his surroundings and a future he can’t see a way through. Determined not to leave his mum with a £5,000 funeral bill, he devises a plan to fundraise for his own funeral.

Amy Guyler’s play explores male mental health, friendship and suicide among young working-class men.
