    Echo has a broken heart. A gutted-from-the-inside, cut-off-your-toes broken heart. Help is just a phone call away, but he opts for a Classical (feral) form of revenge. A darkly comic new play with a queer, unruly take on Ovid’s myth of Narcissus.

    Written and performed by Bailey Edwards, directed by Mia Hull, produced by Sophie Ignatieff and featuring a sound design by Ellie Isherwood. 

    "'Inventively staged, thoroughly gripping... a truly haunting and exciting hour of theatre.’"
    North West End UK
    "‘Fearless, funny and multisensory... Play Dead peels back the layers beneath the surface with humour and care, deftly showing how stories immortalised in myth are interwoven with our own lives.’"
    Broadway Baby
    " ‘Edwards’ charisma is only matched by his commitment to the role.... The actor-writer delivers a powerhouse performance’"
    Theatre Weekly

    "Our children live in the most deprived ward in London and their parents cannot afford to pay for the classes and activities many more privileged children enjoy after school and at the weekends. A free-to-access youth group run by a local theatre in a professional setting is an incredible opportunity."
