About Death of England: Closing Time

There are two sides to every story - that’s how the saying goes. Struck down by the loss of their family shop and with their dreams in tatters, Denise and her daughter-in-law Carly are left picking up the pieces of their relatives’ mistakes.

The third part of the acclaimed Death of England series, Closing Time sees Michael’s sister and Delroy’s partner and mother come together on stage, in a thought-provoking drama that explores family dynamics, race, colonialism and cancel culture.

The “riveting” (The Stage) show premiered at the National Theatre in 2023, starring Sharon Duncan-Brewster and Hayley Squires. In the West End, Duncan-Brewster reprises her role as Denise, opposite Erin Doherty (The Crown) as Carly.

I'm glad that I got to see the entire trilogy and it's difficult to decide which of the three is my favourite. The performances in this portion are second to none as we see the close to this story. If these plays return - especially with this cast, t Read more
