Front Room Weston-Super-Mare, Weston-Super-Mare, BS23 1FF
‘Do you have any idea how hard it is to get from purgatory back to earth? It’s extremely difficult, I’ll tell you that for free.’ Amina, a young woman recently deceased and turned into a ghost, somehow find herself trapped in her old apartment with Freyja, whose depressed tears start to extinguish Amina’s fiery nature. However, the seemingly incompatible characters start to reignite traits they both thought were long lost within themselves.

“A charming and witty exploration of grief that perfectly balances the poignant and the hilarious. Written with warmth and honesty, Forward
doesn’t take itself too seriously, yet never fails to land the emotional gut punches that turn it from good theatre into great theatre” – Douglas
Murdoch, Greedy Pig Theatre Company
“Forward manages to explore grief in the most human fashion; through a great balance of humour, drama and wisdom” – Budoor Alnowais
“The Bristol company have been on a roll with a series of thrilling and exciting productions over the last 18 months” – Backstage Bristol
