“If you think I’m doing the rest of this in French you’ve got another thing coming!”
I Can Die Too is a play with music about a play with music — inspired by Cocteau’s La Voix Humaine and playfully reimagined during a chaotic tech rehearsal.
The trouble is, our leading actress, Lily, can’t bear the role she’s playing as it mirrors her own life, and the ghosts she can’t quite leave behind. As the rehearsal spirals, she humorously descends into a world of doubt, defiance, and the insatiable desire to sing.
A collision of life and art, I Can Die Too is a sharp, self-aware exploration of theatre — blurring the lines between classic drama, tragicomedy, musical theatre and concert.
Created by Frances Ruffelle, Sally George and Alan Cumming. Directed by Bill Buckhurst. Starring Frances Ruffelle.
