Playing dead – a ground-breaking new show heads
to ARC
Am I Dead
Yet?
Stockton ARC
Thursday 6th October 2016
A play that
looks at the brighter side of mortality is coming to ARC Stockton, and the
plays writers want Teessiders to embrace a new way of talking about death and
dying.
Am I Dead
Yet? which heads
to ARC on Thursday 6th October, is a new ground breaking new play
that looks at death in a different way than you will thought about it before.
Jon Spooner
and Chris Thorpe, the forces behind forward-thinking theatre company Unlimited
Theatre, want people to watch the show and ditch the negative taboos,
especially if they know someone who is living with a long term illness, or has
experienced a recent bereavement in their family.
Speaking
about the show and what people can expect, Chris said: “It’s about two friends, talking and singing about what happens
when we die, how we think about dying, and most importantly, how some of us
might be brought back.”
The show does not focus on sadness or negativity, but is filled with
positivity and happy memories with some touching moments.
Unlimited Theatre are also running a Death Café in
conjunction with ARC’s Associate Artist Luca Rutherford from 4pm - 6pm on the same day.
Death Cafes were founded in London in 2011, and
have become an international phenomenon.
A Death Cafe brings people together, often strangers, to eat cake,
drink tea and discuss death. The objective is to increase awareness of death
with a view to helping people make the most of their (finite) lives. Join us
(it's free to attend) in an accessible, respectful and confidential space for a
group directed discussion of death with no agenda (it is a discussion group
rather than a grief support or counselling session).
