WINNER Best Ensemble at Dublin Fringe Festival Awards 2024

“A clever, moving and genuinely new piece of theatre… The production has everything audiences have come to expect from Dead Centre - it explores deeply serious ideas with considerable wit… But its real achievement is in the way it presents the lived experience of long-term illness of the six remarkable performers. It’s theatre at its best.”
