About:
Two hapless funeral directors, Eulogine and Wake, attempt to teach audiences
the art of a perfect funeral – if only they knew how. As their carefully
laid plans unravel, the pair stumble through a series of increasingly
absurd mishaps, exposing the strange rituals, expectations and
performances that surround death. Blending dark comedy and heartfelt
storytelling, this original production explores grief, remembrance and
what it means to say goodbye. Inspired by personal experiences of
bereavement and research with professional funeral directors, Dead
Prepared invites audiences to laugh, reflect and find connection in one of
life’s most universal experiences.
