NEXT TO GODLINESS
By ALASTAIR BROWN
6 – 31 October 2026
WORLD PREMIERE
“…there’s only one skill you need when it comes to killing, and that’s the willingness to do it.”
Erin and Sophia are crime-scene cleaners, but the people they work for are the ones doing the crimes. They’re paid well for disposing of evidence, especially on public holidays, but when one of the bodies they’re supposed to be collecting turns out to be inconveniently alive it threatens to ruin everything. With few options available and even less time, the pair decide to outsource their problem to an enigmatic contractor named Ferryman, a decision they may come to regret. Meanwhile, the spirits of the dead are restless, and they have their own stories to tell.
This world-premiere of a razor-sharp satire will leave you laughing, but also wondering whether you really should.
Winner of the 2023 Silver Gull Award.
