About the show
Dying to Please You is a devised piece of physical theatre rooted in the true, personal journey of Tess Cartwright and Vid Warren through brain cancer, his passing and beyond. It is whacky, edgy, playful and has completely obliterated the fourth wall and endeavours to ask the question: Can we laugh in the face of death?

Why should I programme dying to please you?
Here are some quotes from people after seeing our piece:
'Huge appreciation to bring, share and shine a light of this world of death with emotion and honesty.
Dancing the edge with respect, beauty, laughter and tears.’
‘Very thought provoking. An energetic and positive presentation of a subject almost everyone is dumb and numb about.’
‘Tess, you embodied many emotions I had after my fathers death recently - the paperwork - Perfect.
I was right beside you.
Death wakes us up doesn’t it.’
‘This is important work. I want everyone to see your play. Deep gratitude and love’
On the genre/physicality of the show:
‘Amazing how physical theatre can get to places that words don’t go.’
‘The physicality, confusion, and energy of the representation and emotions of grief was really powerful and familiar. I was talking about the death of my father today, very relevant and timely’
‘Incredible! You had us going from laughter to crying for the whole hour.’
‘It was surprising, which is its great strength. The music was great’
