All of Them, Dead
Show Bio
In a global pandemic caused by infected meat, two boys find they’re much less alone than they thought.
All Of Them, Dead is a play about being young, gay and working-class in the middle of nowhere. It’s about the things that go unsaid, it’s about two boys holding hands, it’s about clinging together as the world changes around you. And it’s about meat falling from the sky (no, really).
Perfect for fans of Heartstopper and The Day Of The Triffids, All Of Them, Dead is a sharp, funny and touching queer love story for the end of the world.
