Stiff by Matthew Davies
Directed by Matthew Davies
Performances: Tuesday 20th to Saturday 24th October 2009, Prompt Corner
Two young morgue workers, Godsell and Daniel, working the ‘graveyard’ shift at a mortuary in West London must take charge of the body of a famous actress, Andrea Sterne, who has recently taken her own life. As the night draws on, they begin to realise they have a once in a lifetime opportunity to touch fame in a truly horrifying way. It should be a simple task to just guard a body until dawn but Godsell has other plans for the late Ms Sterne.
This is a short play, running to about half an hour. Please note that the themes of the play are rather dark and perhaps not suitable for the easily offended (whoever they may be).

Victorian London, October 1891. A woman swings from the gallows punished for a grisly crime. Does she really deserve to be there or is she just another victim?
In a city of body snatchers, burlesque and blood only the strongest will survive…
