DEADCRUSH

Bron has finally found her soulmate - the only catch? He died three and a half months ago. 

But she will try anything to make their love a reality. Steal his remains? Check! Take the Eurostar to the city of love? Check! Seek blessing from a higher power? Not a problem. 

As delusion takes over her world, how long can Bron dance with death before reality comes to break them apart?

A zany rollercoaster ride through life and death, “Deadcrush” questions what we are willing to risk when love is all we have. Developed across scratch nights in multiple London venues, “Deadcrush” makes its full-length debut on the Hope Theatre stage as part of Write Club. 

Writer and director James Robertson is a non-binary, British-Australian playwright. Their writing has been staged in Ukraine, Hungary, Britain and Australia, where they ran the Plain English Theatre company. They graduated from MA Dramaturgy & Writing for Performance at Goldsmiths College.
