Elephant Nation is proud to present The Seven Funerals of Charlie Morris, a brand new play from the people that brought you last years critical success These are the Skeletons of Us. With their previous work being touted as 'beautifully poignant and refreshing', this new work is sure to move Auckland audiences.
Charlie is young. Charlie is bored. Charlie is dying. After discovering that he has had a previously undetected, yet terminal illness, Charlie accepts his fate and decides to plan his own funeral. With help of his best friend Pete and a girl he met on the bus, Charlie embarks on an exploration of rites and passages from around the world in a attempt to plan a memorable 'final party'.
This is a play about Death. This is a play about Love. This is a play about Denial. It is an original look at mortality through the eyes of a young man forced to deal with it before his time.
