Corpse In The Room Livestream

It can be uncomfortable to think about death, but when you’re locked in a room with a talking corpse, it becomes unavoidable. In a place where life and death can meet, talk, and eat cake together, a Woman and a Corpse have until sunrise to fall a bit in love with life, the afterlife, and each other. 

Following a hugely successful run at the Lambeth Fringe, Emily Gibson’s The Corpse in the Room comes to the Space. Directed by Emma Gibson and Joshua Robey, this passionate reimagining of medieval dream literature promises to be a deeply affirming night of the macabre. 

Whole Headache is the brainchild of Emma Gibson and Joshua Robey after collaborative productions of Annie Baker’s The Antipodes and Anne Washburn’s Mr Burns, a Post-Electric Play. Driven to create challenging theatre, Whole Headache focuses on new, deeply affecting writing about the strange and fantastical.
