Joyce McMillan: ‘a controlled and delicately paced one-hour monologue that saves its most shocking moment for the end, and leaves plenty of room for understanding and reflection’

Lynn Gardner: ‘a cunningly constructed hour that cleverly snakes back on itself’

Mark Brown: ‘a heartfelt and poignant piece of stage writing’

​

Fern doesn't get invited to dinner parties anymore. They used to love her tales of the macabre. But now? The mask is slipping.

​

Catafalque is a one woman eulogy to death through the lens of a civil celebrant. How do we grieve the ungrievable? How do you speak of death when no-one wants to look? A show about love, loss and a lifetime of secrets. Join Fern as she navigates the complexities of a grieving family and learns to tell the truth when it repels the bravest of us.
