Reading of Sometimes I Laugh at my Sister: A Little Show About Death
T0
Since her big sister, BBC journalist, Kate Peyton's murder in Somalia in February 2005, Rebecca has had rather a strange time. With a wake rather than a wedding to organise and no second opinion on the whole kitchen-lighting fiasco, Rebecca's one-woman show gallops through the curious corollaries of the worst of times, discussing death at dinner parties and encouraging us not to play dead ourselves in order to avoid that traumatised friend of ours. We are accustomed, even hardened, to the flood of news about the world's conflicts and the sense of helplessness it provokes, but the stories of the journalists, the grief and the loss their death induces, remain hidden. Rebecca welcomes us to her post-Kate world and lets us in on her personal philosophy. She shares her dreams, hopes and fears, naming the unspeakable where many others can't.
