Monkfish Word Tank Collective presents
The Dead That Never Live
Date: Wed 17 Nov 7.30pm
Stockton Arc
Stockton on Tees, UK

Enter a circus of words where the dead converge. ARC is transformed into a funeral chapel, playing host to mourners for famous fictional characters, including Scrooge McDuck, Darth Vader, Cathy from Wuthering Heights and The Milk Tray Man to name but a few.
As the show progresses even Death himself, in the form of ARC Associate Artist Michael Edwards, puts in an appearance.
Join the congregation for this funeral service with a difference, where we will be paying tribute to the many characters who have meant so much through theatre, spoken word and comedy.
This ground-breaking theatre and spoken word show is brought to you by North East spoken word multimedia hub Monkfish Productions and is fresh from its sell out performance at Late Shows Newcastle Gateshead 2010.
It features members of the critically acclaimed Word Tank Collective and emerging national talent Ross Sutherland, who was featured in The Times Online top ten new young writers in 2008.
Mourning attire and hankies encouraged!
