The Story

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.

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