    How Do You Bury A Whale?

    Sat 29 (6pm) and Sun 30 (8pm) August
    Tickets PWYC from £5 (recommended price £10)
    A documentary investigation into the more-than-human world.

    When a whale dies in the cold tank of a marine park, what happens after that? Beginning with the testimony of the last keeper of a captive beluga, this experimental documentary theatre piece explores our human grief and love towards the more-than-human world, asking how we remember and bury.
