Can you escape the cycle you’ve been bound by your whole life?
Emma Dennis-Edwards' multi award-winning play tells the story seventeen-year-old Angelique, who's forced to navigate the care system after her mum's imprisonment. Part poetry, part play, Funeral Flowers is a "funny, fearless and heart-breaking" (Lyn Gardner) show about a young woman who dreams of being a florist.
Inspired by the remarkable story of Tottenham community leader and businesswoman Gina Moffatt, who created her own floristry business whilst incarcerated at HMP Holloway.
