One Wedding. One Funeral. Zero Boundaries.

Meet the Hendersons, a happily dysfunctional family, reuniting for their dad's third (or fourth?) wedding. But nobody expects the death of his bachelorhood to become an actual funeral... It would be a waste of the hotel function room not to repurpose it, right?

Hailed as Saltburn meets Schitt's Creek, this is Rosie Day's second play after Instructions for a Teenage Armageddon which premiered at Southwark Playhouse before transferring to The Garrick. With Day's signature 'laugh-a-minute' humour (WhatsOnStage), this new, searingly sharp dark comedy cuts deep into family relationships.

This edition was published to coincide with the world premiere production at London's King's Head Theatre in March 2025.

Rosie Day's roles in the Golden Globe-nominated Outlander, All Roads Lead to Rome, Down a Dark Hall, and Living the Dream have earned her recognition as a Screen International Star of Tomorrow and InStyle BAFTA Rising Star. In 2019, she appeared in Roy Williams' The Fellowship and wrote and directed her debut short Tracks the following year. Rosie's one-woman show Instructions for a Teenage Armageddon gained rave reviews and nominations, inspiring her to pen her eponymous 2021 non-fiction and a soon-to-be TV adaptation.
