Can you possibly have an existential crisis at your own funeral?
Whoever said you can't speak ill of the dead, had obviously never mc'd the funeral of their self-obsessed, star-struck sister. The very same sister who'd never lifted a finger for anyone in her entire life, now needs her sensible sibling to close the lid on the 'not so' fabulous career she chose ahead of her family and friends.
Equal parts black comedy and existential drama, IT'S NOT TOO LATE (until you're dead) is a post-mortem dissection of a sibling relationship cruelly cut short and an exploration of family memory...that fickle, unreliable beast which threatens to ruin even the most pleasant of family gatherings, let alone celebrations for the prematurely dead.
As a guest at Lulu Anderson's somewhat unconventional funeral, you should expect the unexpected. There will be no hymns...but there may well be show tunes. Bring your tissues.
IT'S NOT TOO LATE (until you're dead) stars Danii Zappia as the self-obsessed Lulu directing her own pre-funeral, funeral and Emily Burns, as her long suffering, and forgetful sister, Sophie, who's in charge of the eulogy! What could possibly go wrong?
IT'S NOT TOO LATE (until you're dead) was written by award winning Adelaide playwright Sally Hardy. Sally has won a number of Australian Writers' Guild awards and her plays have been selected for national and international festivals.
