Review-Geoff Dead: Disco For Sale
October 18, 2008
As this five star review rated show continues its run at the Live Theatre, Newcastle, have you wondered where the title came from?
Writer Fiona Bruce tell us during the play.
As when the the parents are preparing the obituary for the paper, they are told the Sunderland Echo allows the first five words for free. The father (also called Geoff) snaps back, Geoffs Dead: Disco For Sale.
Private Geoff Gray used to run a disco for his family and friends until he died at Deepcut Barracks.
The play is a heart wrenching tale of the parents trying to find out what really happened to their children, who apparently all commited suicide at Deepcut Barracks. The play is very moving and thought provoking to the point that some of the audience on press night had trouble defining the action of the play from real life.
The parents still fight today for the public enquiry that has been denied to them.
