When We Died
Alexandra Donnachie and Carbon Theatre
Fri 11th Aug - Sun 27th Aug 2023
Time: 19:40 ( 60 mins )
Genre: Theatre
Age: 14+
Warning: Contains distressing or potentially triggering themes. Contains an account of rape – but at no point is rape presented onstage – and descriptions of dead bodies.
He’s dead, and it’s her job to prepare and present his body for his family’s final goodbye. She often imagines what each person’s life was like. But today she doesn’t have to imagine who he is. She knows this man.
Faced with the body of the man who raped her eleven months ago, When We Died is a striking new play about one woman’s choice to confront her trauma and tell her story, on her terms.

“Donnachie is really terrific - her body turning and twisting, bending and swaying ... It’s quietly hold-your-breath gripping” Lyn Gardner, Stagedoor
