I spoke to the amazing @NatashaTripney from @TheStage about all things grief, class and what it’s like to lose someone when you can’t afford dignity. #MMFTS @painesplough

"Death, The Devil and the Fablemaker" by @DoorsEarly: A heart-warming tale of loss, acceptance and Fablemaking to gain understanding around the ultimate question – what is beyond?

"Funeral for a Dog" by Miller and Harlow: Hear the miraculous account of a good dog, told through storytelling and song, and confront what it means to truly live. Funeral for a Dog is show that is a little haunting, containing a lot of humour, coated in hope.
