What do you do when your mum dies and you’ve promised to do “something different” for her funeral? That is the problem that Dean is facing in Knee Deep In Promises at Liverpool’s Royal Court Studio.

Starring Debbie Brannan (Cilla, Coronation Street), Lewis Bray (Cartoonopolis) and Sharon Byatt (Bread, Blood Brothers) and directed by Paul Goetzee, the play is a bitter-sweet story about how difficult it can be to live a simple life.

The script is another one that was developed through the theatre’s programme to promote new writing – Stage Write. It is the third Stage Write play this year following Masquerade and Pig and there are more promised for 2020.
