Synopsis
Family, food, music and mourning.
Gloria is gravely sick.
When her time comes, the celebration begins; the traditional Jamaican Nine Night wake.
But for Gloria’s children and grandchildren, marking her death with a party that lasts over a week is a test.
Nine nights of music, food, sharing stories – and an endless parade of mourners.
Natasha Gordon’s debut play Nine Night is a touching and very funny exploration of the rituals of family.
It was premiered at the National Theatre, London, in April 2018, directed by Roy Alexander Weise.
