Post-mortem

Nancy and Alex are two ex-lovers who meet at a friend’s wedding and are forced to confront their comforting myths and mismatching memories to unpack what really happened when their lives shattered all those years ago. Who hurt who, and who is holding on too tightly to that trauma? Emotionally complex and with instantly recognisable characters, Post-mortem digs deeps into its two protagonists to unearth insights and surprises.

Fusing physical theatre and gripping new writing, this is an honest and comic look at young love and old trauma from award winning playwright Iskandar R. Sharazuddin. The perfect play for people who have signed up for Tinder more than once, Post-mortem is an intimate two hander that looks at the lies we tell ourselves when love ends. The awe and giddy joy of young love is contrasted with a mature understanding of how relationships can make, or even break us.
