Never Get to Heaven in an Empty Shell
Claud's stuck. Big time.
Aimlessly drifting between her job as a ghost tour guide to reluctant family dinners to endless bad dates in even worse pubs, Claud is in limbo. Still finding her feet 10 years after her dad died, an unlikely encounter with a ghost at Angel Station comes with the realisation that she's got work to do.
Forced to question mortality in this tragically semi-autobiographical tragicomedy, will her rendezvous with the dead persuade her to start living again?

A charming one person show that takes you on a journey through bereavement. Light hearted/funny and fantastical in parts; thought provoking throughout. Made me think of that David Niven film 'A matter of life and death' and gave me the same teary warm glow as watching the film. The show obviously has next to no budget so its a testament to how good the writing must be. Highly recommended.
