Pauline Goldsmith

You are invited to a funeral and wake preceding the funeral where you are welcomed by the grieving family and offered drinks, sandwiches and biscuits.

this show goes some of the way to dispelling some of the mysteries of funerals, you are given a guided tour around the coffin, shown the various finishes and given helpful advice on accepted procedures and protocols. You are also shown little presentations on the perceptions of death from the point of view of different ages, Culminating in what it might feel like to be in the box.

We exit the venue following the coffin and chief mourner, pausing to watch the coffin drive off in the hearse.

Not as morbid as it may sound, containing several laughs. It is also selling out fast so get your tickets soon, before it is too late.
