This double bill, set in the north of England in the early nineteen sixties, is an enormously entertaining insight into the lives of the Lucas and Fuller families - first at a wedding then a funeral. The family's efforts to organise an impressive wedding reception on a budget and with a very limited choice of catering arrangements provide fertile ground for hilarious bickering as they are thrown together when Christine Lucas and Bernard Fuller tie the knot.
Six months later relationships have moved on when they come together again for the funeral of another family member. This time they close ranks when an uninvited guest presents herself as a key mourner, much to the great consternation of the Lucas family.
The play includes lots of realistic and entertaining characters across a wide age range, whose interactions and relationships are so true to life it is not surprising this play was such a success when it was first presented in the West End.
