Funeral for my Boobs is a Cabaret style mini musical based on writer Hannah Howie's own diagnosis with the BRCA 2 gene.

This play really starts years and years ago. Hannah's female relatives all had a habit of dying young, her own Grannie only lived to 31.

Nowadays tests can be done and Hannah gets diagnosed with BRCA 2 and has an 85% chance of developing breast cancer not wanting to live with this terrible diagnosis she decides to get a double mastectomy. 

This could be a play full of weeping and wailing however in true musical theatre star style she writes a Cabaret to chase those boobs away. 

With the help of Gregor John-Owen as Left boob (the smaller of the two) and feisty right boob played by Kirsty Malone, we get a right good feel of Hannah's 31 years of life. 

Desperately wanting boobs as a young girl, her boobs giving her beauty and boys and possibly the odd girl wanting them out! 

We go with her to a mammogram where her boobs get squashed to Hannah's wonderfuly operatic Carmen. 

To the Dr's with his theatrical chuckle and rimmed glasses. 

All the while each boob gets to shine with their own solos and comedy routines. Gregor and Kirsty take on all the roles. 

Everyone on stage is superb all singing and dancing to Stuart Fleming's musical score. 

Directed by Chris Stuart Wilson on a set designed by Heather Grace Currie this doesn't feel like a small scale show in a basement, it has all the razzamatazz and jazz boobs of a huge show. 

This black comedy musical never makes fun of cancer or the suffering attached, it does however give plenty of hope to people who may be diagnosed. 

Ending on a poignant self penned song to her Grannie she never met. Hannah has gained power over her decision.
