Carrie’s mum is dead. Her last wishes were for her daughter to drive her ashes back to her childhood home in Anglesey, Wales, to be scattered.

'Heartfelt and deeply funny' (TheOxfordBlue.co.uk). 'Quintessentially irreverent' (Cherwell.org). 'Radically human' (RoomWithReviewBlog.blogspot.com). 'Within ten seconds, the audience is genuinely captivated' (The Last Act Critic, Substack).
