In folklore, pelican mothers feed their young on their own blood.
Today, four sisters are trying to come to terms with their mother's
death - and divide their mother's house between them. Joy wants a
baby, Storm wants to be seen, Sage wants to be paid, Maya doesn't
want anyone to find out her secret. Granny's in a wheelchair on day
release - and Mum's presence still seeps through the ceiling and
the floors. The Pelican Daughters are home for the last time. The
Wardrobe Ensemble's play The Last of the Pelican Daughters is a
comedy about four sisters trying to come to terms with their
mother's death. It combines the company's trademark irreverent
humour and lovable characters to tackle the idea of what it means
for young people to grapple with inheritance, loss and justice. The
Last of the Pelican Daughters was first staged at the Edinburgh
Fringe Festival in 2019. In addition to the full script of the
play, this published edition includes an extensive oral history of
The Wardrobe Ensemble by its members, and a workshop plan for two
people of different generations to communicate and collaborate in
person or online.
