Tea, Texts and Top Of The Pops
Inspired by personal experience, Tea, Texts and Top Of The Pops is a new play about two siblings trying to navigate life after the loss of their dad.
Moving back and forth across ten years, the play unfolds through fragmented memories, late-night conversations, old songs and the things that never quite get said. At its heart is the complicated, ever-changing relationship between two siblings and the moments that pull them back together again. Funny, nostalgic and at times heartbreaking, Tea, Texts and Top Of The Pops explores grief, not as one defining moment, but as a collection of experiences that are joyful, messy, painful and everything in between.
Set against a backdrop of familiar music and everyday rituals, it captures the strange mix of comfort and chaos that comes with growing up after loss.
With a non-linear structure and intimate, actor-led storytelling, the play offers a personal and relatable look at grief, growing up and the relationships that shape us.
