YEP Directors Festival 2024: Burying Your Brother in the Pavement
Fri 11 Oct to Sat 12 Oct 2024
EVERYMAN
£5
Tom's brother Luke is dead. This has upset a lot of people but it hasn't upset Tom. Or, rather, it has upset him, but in ways he can't explain and other people can't understand. Tom and Luke were never friends. In fact, Tom didn't really like Luke at all.
So it's an odd decision - to try and bury Luke in the pavement of the 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 Travel card.
