Content warning [May contain spoilers]
Death’s not going to make an angel of him. Liam may be dying, but he’s not going to go quietly. Trapped in a cramped flat and a cramped relationship, he clings to humour like life support. Love curdles into obligation and resentment as his boyfriend Matthew tends to his every need, without much thanks. Swearing and battling it out to the end, the two unravel through an endless conversation of love, hate, guilt and pain. Can either of them survive this? A brutal black comedy about death that is vividly alive.
This production is suitable for ages 18 and over.
