A dying man’s last wish: for his friends to create a show about death. Will it be subtle? Will it be sophisticated? Probably not, but it’s his funeral. Literally.
Multi award-winning physical comedy company Ugly Bucket process the death of a friend in the only way they know how – through outrageous clowning, personal testimony and a thumping techno soundtrack. Please arrive from 6.45pm for the performance to start at 7pm. After the show, there'll be a chance to meet the cast, to chat over a cuppa.
