The Concept

About the Play

In some parts of Asia, there is a belief: when a young man dies unmarried, his parents will find him a bride and hold a ghost wedding to accompany him in death. Sometimes, the bride is a corpse. Sometimes, the woman being buried is still alive.

One day, a British man named Jason discovers that his girlfriend has been involved in a ghost marriage...

This is a dark comedy immersive interactive theatre experience. The audience is not just watching the story, they become part of it.

  • You will interact with the characters, and at key moments, you will make crucial decisions on their behalf.
  • Every choice will completely change the direction of the story.
  • Each performance leads to a different ending, and different fates for the characters.

This is a ritual that requires your participation. And the ending is yours to decide.
