Perrier Award nominee Owen O'Neill and Olivier Award winner Guy Masterson combine for a new, hilarious, blackest-of-black comedy!
Undertakers Eurig and Connor depend on death for a living, but even that has let them down. Charles Sterling's burial offers them a lifeline, but will they take it? As they endlessly await the client of the corpse, they ruminate on love, death and the meaning of life. Waiting for Godot meets The Dumb Waiter meets Six Feet Under!
This multiple 5 star hit at the 2019 Edinburgh Fringe is performed by Alan McKee (Game of Thrones) & Rhodri Lewis (Torchwood).
Contains mild profanity. Suitable for 12+
