ice&fire confronts the disturbing rise in the number of so-called ?paupers' funerals' in modern-day Britain in this experimental piece that retraces the stories of four individuals buried in the same communal grave. The Nine O'Clock Slot is based on true-life accounts where heart-breaking stories find comic touches and uplifting conclusions. Performed in the industrial underground spaces of the Red Gallery, the play takes you from the world of the living to the secretive world of the dead and dying. Fusing film, choreography and spoken-word poetry with skilled physical comedy and song-and-dance numbers, this is a totally immersive theatre experience.Company Ice and Fire. Director Lisa Spirling.
