Come Back For Light Refreshments after the Service is written by local Hills writer and performer, Julie Day. It is a touching, humorous, charming and very real observed study of the attitudes, expectation and aspirations of four generations of woman.
Beth nursed her Alzheimer’s stricken father for five years. He has now passed away and Beth plans to sell the house and go back-packing. Her plans are met with a variety of opinions from disapproval to delight. As in reality, the theatre of life unfolds, problems are shared, truth is told and laughter unites as these 4 woman work together and chat in the kitchen preparing “light refreshments” for the guests after the service. Real sandwiches, cakes, scones and tea are served to the audience as they become the mourners visiting after the funeral.

This play about relationships and understanding, the role and value of the carers in our society and the camaraderie of women garnered rave reviews and a Fringe Award for excellence at the Edinburgh Festival.
