A tale of tea stains, stiffs and brotherly love.
Keith, the estranged son, has returned, bringing a whole lot of trouble with him for his long-suffering brother Henry. Dad, the head of a funeral directors Hall and Son, looks set to need his own services very soon and, to Henry, it seems a little white lie might be enough to get rid of his short-tempered, live-wire brother. Unfortunately, nothing goes quite how he planned as the interloper decides he wants to join the family business. Disaster ensues. It’s time to bury the dead and dig up the living.
Unpacked tell darkly comedic stories, using high-octane physicality, new writing, object animation and a distinctive puppetry aesthetic.
