Description
A comedy of mortality and marriage that explores the complexities of relationships through laughter. The story revolves around Eleanor's desire for a child, while her partner Richard is focused on running the Dead Funny Society. When British comedy legends Frankie Howard and Benny Hill pass away, the society comes together to celebrate, but not everyone is in high spirits. This hilarious play premiered at the Hampstead Theatre in 1994 and was revived in London's West End in 2016. Terry Johnson's witty writing brings a fresh perspective to the challenges of marriage and mortality.
