About this event

Remember teenage love? Obsessive and knotted together. Nancy and Alex met in biology class dissecting a pig heart. They believed their love was eternal. Until they broke it. Reunited ten years later at their best friends' wedding, another dissection begins.

Post-Mortem is an unflinching, complex, and comedic look at the giddy joy of young love, the trauma which outlives it, and the lies we tell ourselves when love dies. Award-winning playwright Iskandar R. Sharazuddin turns the typical two-hander on its head with an intimate fusion of physical theatre, and gripping new writing.

"Post-Mortem is like eating a bar of chocolate, rich and sweet as young love with bitter notes of loss and grief." ★★★★★ The Mumble
★★★★★ Sue in the Stalls
