Emma Dennis-Edwards’ award-winning FUNERAL FLOWERS tours theatres and prisons,
directed by Jess Edwards and starring Sarel Madziya.

After hugely successful runs at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2018 (winning a Fringe First), the
Bunker Theatre and the Roundhouse, Emma Dennis-Edwards’ critically-acclaimed one woman
show will tour the UK in a new production starring Sarel Madziya. The tour will visit York St
John, the North Wall Oxford, Liverpool Everyman, Phoenix Exeter and Nottingham Playhouse.
Funeral Flowers will also visit several prisons alongside an outreach programme exploring
creative responses to the show from inmates.

Funeral Flowers follows the story of 17-year-old Angelique who longs to be a florist and is
forced to navigate the care system when her mother is incarcerated. Part story, part poetry, the
play was inspired by the life of Gina Moffat, who began her own floristry business whilst
incarcerated at HMP Holloway.
