Pass The Parcel

Lilly Gray has passed away. She leaves behind three (mostly) loving daughters, a nice little hairdresser’s and a lot of untidy memories.

Lindsay is sorting out the funeral because, well, that’s what she does. Kelly’s too young, even though she’s 28, and Mona? Mona’s the eldest but unless it involves crystals, patchouli oil or an ascendant Mercury with a waning Moon then she’s not interested.

They’ve gathered here today to listen to Lilly’s old record player and tease out memories of times gone by. Layer after layer is unearthed until they find their present in the past.

Sarah Whitehead’s Pass The Parcel invites you to join the family as they remember the good times, the bad times and some that may not have happened at all. Listen carefully because when the music stops, the stories begin.
