'a rousing yet intimate rumination on mortality...raw and exquisite...marvellous stuff' - NARC. Magazine, April 2021.
‘a poignant piece… tailor-made to accompany the collective tragedy of the pandemic.’ - NE Volume Magazine, April 2021.
Dying 2 Get 2 U is an exploration of the feelings that we experience when we can’t protect others. A rumination on those who went before us – the family member who unexpectedly passed away alone, the friend who committed suicide - we are often left with feelings of sadness and guilt, and pulled in contrasting emotional directions - a fear of the inevitability of death, and yet hope that it might eventually bring us closer to the ones we love and miss, grateful for our time together but greedy for more. Was there anything we could have done differently that might have changed the outcome?
