Maybe I Should Stop

Maybe I Should Stop

Written & performed by Oscar Brudenall-Jones

‘Yes, he's in a celebrations tub. No, he's not in with the bounties.’

Aaron, an unemployed entertainer, has stolen his dad's ashes and hidden them in a tub of chocolates. As he journeys toward St. Ives to scatter them, we discover the reasons behind his theft, and witness a suspenseful chase with the police hot on his heels. 

Written and performed by Oscar Brudenall-Jones and directed by Esalan Gates (5-star, BroadwayWorld UK Nominee – Best New Production), this dark comedy explores grief in a post-pandemic world, as well as sperm bank strikes and why you shouldn't lose your rag at an old person.

Produced by To The Tooth Theatre, this is comedy with a bite.
