Lauren works at a crematorium. She hates death, but at least the dead can’t let you down. With a history of failed relationships and pregnancies, her biological clock is ticking hard and she finds herself at the bar night after night looking for someone to fuck. At work Lauren discovers boxes of ashes left on the shelf – children and babies who have not been claimed by their families. The memories and unlived lives of those departed souls start to invade her consciousness until something must be done. She decides to return the ashes to their families, forcing her to confront her greatest fears.

Winner of the prestigious Rodney Seaborn Award and directed by the brilliant Anthony Skuse, Katie Pollock’s new play People Inside Me is an outrageously black comic look at grief and love and the ways we push the darkness away. 

“Ambitious, complex, movingly original.”
