The play, an immersive audience experience set at the wake of Myfanwy Evans, is a comedy about how people deal with grief. \u00a0<\/p>\n

The audience is asked to dress for a funeral, and can expect to be ordered up to a buffet served during the play, before enjoying an hour-long disco at the end.<\/p>\n

Katy Owen, the playwright says, \u201cThe disco and wake are on opposite sides of the spectrum. It is a metaphor that life goes on.\u201d\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n

The location of the play is important for Katy, and it is the first time theatre has visited the Conservative Club.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Katy explains that the audience has to get involved with all aspects of the show, laughing their way through the death, dancing, and drab food.\u00a0<\/p>\n
