BY RAE MAINWARING & OMAR KHAN

A BEGINNER’S GUIDE TO WIDOWHOOD is a one woman show exploring the experiences of young, widowed women, loss, and why we don’t talk about death.

Suria has lost her husband (she hasn’t misplaced him or anything - he’s dead.) Join her & the kids in Türkiye, on what will become “the worst holiday ever.”

A trip fraught with new challenges: navigating bad advice, sympathetic head tilts… and the ‘W’ word. But the turbulent dynamics of a newly fractured family aren’t the kind of baggage you can just stow away neatly in the overhead compartment…

Superb venue, clean, and the theatre is beautiful. Saw a film for the first time last night, sound and picture were awesome. Highly recommended.

Rosehill is a hidden gem. The theatre is special and makes you feel as if you are going some where special.
