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 “cleaners”. They work for the kind of people who need nothing left behind, and in return, they are paid extremely well, especially on public holidays. Except today, they’ve turned up to their job, and one of the bodies they’re supposed to be cleaning up, is somewhat inconveniently not dead. With few options and little time available, 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 new satire that will have you laughing, even while wondering if you really should.
Winner of the 2023 Silver Gull Award.
