Are you taking work to the Edinburgh Fringe this year?

Or developing a piece that deserves to be seen before it heads north?

This is your opportunity to share your show with a live London audience, refine your performance and build momentum before the festival begins.

SHAVING THE DEAD

Theatre

SHAVING THE DEAD

MULTIPLE FIVE STAR HIT AT THE EDINBURGH FRINGE!

They have depended on death for a living, but for undertakers, Welshman Eurig, and Derry-man, Connor even that has let them down. Business is dying, every new burial is a lifeline… As they endlessly await the client of Mr Charles Sterling's unusually heavy coffin, they ruminate on love, death and the meaning of their grave lives.
