“My brother died. Badly. It’s that simple really…”
Acclaimed writer Jack Thorne (Adolescence, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child) explores grief and looking at someone a little bit more closely. Tom's brother Luke is dead. Tom didn't really like Luke at all. So it's an odd decision - to try and bury Luke in the pavement of the Tunstall Estate where he was killed. But to Tom, it sort of makes sense, in a stupid-weird kind of way. As he sleeps out on the pavement, he comes across planning officials, tramps, undertakers, police officers, sisters, mothers, estate agents, ghosts, pavement elephants, sky dragons and a strange lad called Tight who wants to sell him a Travelcard. Burying Your Brother In The Pavement comes to life at the Corpus Playroom as the Freshers’ Play for Week 6.
