Uncle Harry by Gary Brown

4 Extra Debut. Mark's life is nicely well-ordered until Uncle Harry sparks a messy quest to discover his true identity. Stars Dylan Edwards.

Mark's life is nicely well-ordered...despite his dysfunctional family, terrifying future father-in-law/boss, and on-going blackout problem. But that's until Uncle Harry gets in the way. Things get increasingly messy as Mark goes on a quest to discover his true identity.

A comedy about grief and the true meaning of family

Isn't it strange that the registering of life's important moments happens in a sterile municipal office? Everyone's got a story as to how they got there. The first of a series of six quirky plays that start in a Register Office and end in a birth, marriage or death.
