Production Photographs – Worth
Production photographs of Worth, photographed by Ikin Yum. Written by Joanne Lau and directed by Mingyu Lin.
Hours before their mother’s funeral, the Yeung siblings gather in the family home for the first time in years, only to discover their inheritance is missing. With seemingly only £44 cash to her name and the house due to be repossessed, where has all the money gone? Tensions escalate as they race to find it, uncovering ugly truths and shocking family secrets along the way.
Inspired by true events, WORTH takes a darkly comic look at family loss and sibling rivalry. Straddling two cultures, this biting new comedy asks the question – where do you put your worth?
Developed under New Earth Theatre’s Professional Writers Programme and supported by Arts Council England.
