About this show
When faced with her early mortality, Una takes matters into her own hands and seduces death himself. A hilarious and heartfelt Scottish comedy about falling for the wrong person. This powerful two-man cast explores the hilarious highs and lows of dating the grim reaper and delves into the pathos of being alive. Praised by audiences as 'strange, scrappy and unexpectedly moving' and 'if you're looking for something to help you appreciate every sandwich for the rest of your days, this may be just the ticket'. So, how would you save yourself from demise? Beg?
