Sometimes I Laugh Like My Sister

Rebecca Peyton

....a little show about death and other taboos..... Since her big sister, BBC journalist Kate Peyton, was murdered in Somalia, Rebecca has had rather a strange time. She welcomes us to her world in a passionately political, sharply comical and painfully personal account of life after Kate.Crafting a moving and often comic tapestry of private moments from a public tragedy, Rebecca tells her own story of a courageous journalist and a loving big sister, whom she misses.‘A reminder of how almost absurdly precious life is’ **** – The Times ‘A well crafted, subtle piece of storytelling’ **** – The Scotsman ‘Recalls the best of humanity… It is impossible not to be moved’ **** -WhatsOnStage[/i] ‘at once universally resonant and undeniably personal….touching, brave and surprisingly funny…an extraordinary—yet delightfully ordinary—story of loss and struggle, but ultimately love.’ – British Theatre Guide ‘painfully honest, brutally humorous and certainly hopeful…. a unique and entertaining piece of theatre’ – Fourth Wall Magazine ‘a visceral true story of the grief, confusion and beauty….Compelling’ – The Independent ‘a piece that once delivered will linger in the audiences’ mind…subtle and unobtrusive…[an] emotional ride’ – A Younger Theatre ‘an artful expression of grief at its most painful’ 4 stars – The Telegraph
