Step into a heartfelt and gently comic story with Over My Dead Body, presented by Burley Players. Following the loss of his beloved wife, Gerald is determined to live out his days quietly, surrounded only by cherished memories. But his late wife has other ideas…
With some unexpected “forward planning” setting events in motion, Gerald soon finds his peaceful life delightfully disrupted. As visitors arrive uninvited and memories resurface, he’s joined by his daughter and son-in-law in a touching and often hilarious struggle to maintain his independence.
Blending humour with poignancy, Over My Dead Body is a warm and relatable tale about love, loss, and the enduring power of memory—guaranteed to make you laugh, and perhaps bring a tear to your eye too.
To make the evening even more enjoyable, the performance will be accompanied by a delicious two-course dinner. So sit back, relax, and prepare to laugh as the drama unfolds.
Tickets; £20 inc 2 course dinner (meat, vegetarian and gluten friendly options)
