Slough-based writer and performer Oscar Brudenall-Jones is set to bring his acclaimed one-man show Maybe I Should Stop to Slough's Curve Venue next month.
The dark comedy, which runs on March 6 at 7pm, explores love, loss and the absurdity of grief through the eyes of Aaron, an unemployed entertainer who hides his father’s ashes in a tub of chocolates.
Tickets cost £10 and the show is recommended for ages 15 and over.
As Aaron journeys to St Ives to scatter the ashes, audiences can expect a mix of chaos, emotion and sharp humour — with the police in pursuit and grief never far behind.
Written and performed by Brudenall-Jones, the play draws on the shared emotional aftermath of the pandemic.
“The show doesn't necessarily offer life-changing answers (who has 'em anyway?) but does illuminate one thing that I have found: talking about it is the only way forward,” said Brudenall-Jones.
“I wrote this show because, as someone who lost many loved ones over the pandemic, I needed to speak about what had happened to all of us as a community.”
Following sold-out performances at Camden Fringe 2024 and a five-star London run, the show now tours the UK in partnership with Winston’s Wish, a charity supporting young people experiencing grief.
