Shaving the Dead
Assembly George Square Studios, 12:30-13:30
As everyone knows, the most natural setting for humour is an Englishman, an Irishman and a Scot in a bar. A close second, though, is an Irishman and a Welshman in a funeral parlour! Conor and Eric are two undertakers, conversing over a coffin about such everyday topics as bestiality, drowning kittens and erectile dysfunction, while they wait for a client to arrive. But who is this mysterious client, and what is really in the box? What are they waiting for? What, indeed, are we all waiting for? Putting the “dead” into “deadpan”, the two actors deliver a performance ripe with bathos and irony that will leave you questioning the meaning of life, death, and well everything really — with several laughs along the way. Recommended!
