CATAFALQUE

Writer/Performer: Amy Conway
Director: Beth Morton
Associate Director: Olivia Millar-Ross

Catafalque is a one woman eulogy to death through the lens of a civil celebrant. How do we grieve the ungrievable? How do you speak of death when no-one wants to look? A show about love, loss and a lifetime of secrets. Join Fern as she navigates the complexities of a grieving family and learns to tell the truth when it repels the bravest of us.

“One of those rare plays where you come out of the auditorium a different person from the one who went in. I couldn’t recommend this more strongly.”
