Do you want to experience a Death Cafe?

After an amazing sell-out week at the VAULT Festival we’re holding a Death Cafe next week!

At Death Cafes people drink tea, eat cake and discuss death. The aim is to increase awareness of death to help people make the most of their (finite) lives. You can find out more information at http://deathcafe.com/

It will take place on Monday 16th February at EV Deli near Waterloo from 7pm. You will be able to purchase your own food & drinks from the Deli Counter. Later on we will move to the EV Bar (2 doors down) and enter the Afterlife part of the evening, celebrating the show and the themes that emerged. There may even be a bit of cake to take home!

Registration is on a first come first served basis. If you do want to attend please click the link below to sign up so we can get an idea of numbers.

Make Space Studios next to the disused Necropolis track at Waterloo

Some rather unusual research at Waterloo Station….

The old Necropolis Railway Platform

The old Necropolis Railway Platform

Our research for A First Class Death for VAULT Festival 2015 is taking us in so many unusual yet wonderful directions! Playwright Jason Hall spent a day shadowing a funeral director (more info to follow) while I explored the old Necropolis platform now turned fantastic Make Space Studios (you can see the studios as you come into Waterloo Station). See Make Space Studios for a fantastic YouTube video about the Necropolis Railway. Anna (Assistant Director) and I also had a brilliantly inspiring evening at a Death Cafe (www.deathcafe.com) enjoying tea, cake and talking about death with some lovely people. Though we’ll admit to being slightly apprehensive beforehand we had such a fun, joyful and inspirational evening. Meanwhile, our R&D workshops with a fantastic bunch of actors led to sharing stories of sadness as well as much heart warming laughter. Read more
