Details

Three ghosts meet in a theatre. The first ghost says... "Let me tell you a love story to die for..." Sergio would prefer death to come sooner rather than later. With the help of Dr. Goodwin and a Swiss clinic he seizes the opportunity to hasten his end. But what of his post-mortem body? Burial or cremation would seem a waste, given his fascination with necrophiliacs. In a London psychiatric hospital he finds Khaled, whose passion for having sex with corpses makes him a worthy recipient of his body. Now he must meet with Dr Goodwin to organise his assisted suicide and with Khaled to arrange the delivery of his body. Alternating between these conversations and combining the realms of fantasy and reality this work of autofiction incorporates a breadth of historical, literary, religious, TV and cinematic allusions to death. Desire, friendship and eroticism intertwine in this dazzling new play by Latin America's biggest living playwright that asks, how far would you go for love? And will the world allow it?
