Play Dead is a dark and dirty, symbolic black comedy touching on themes of love, control, death and dying, sex, violence and possession.
Three's a crowd, which quickly becomes apparent when the new so-called taxidermist arrives to help the doctor and his very young accomplice, and ends up bringing a little something extra to the slab.
You get to be the voyeur and watch the relationships unfold as the story, set in the confines of a morgue, reveals the lives of three off-beat and somewhat unorthodox characters who love, lose, hunger and conceal just like anyone else.
With meaty props and faux corpses, a hint of necrophilia and a smack of cannibalism it is not for the faint hearted.
Wed Jun 27th - Sun 1st July 9pm
at Dantes, Fitzroy.
Corner Gertrude and Napier streets.
