I CAN DIE TOO

“If you think I’m doing the rest of this in French you’ve got another thing coming!”
A rehearsal from hell. An actress who’s way too into her feelings about the role she’s playing. And a complete spiral into doubt, defiance, and the uncontrollable urge to sing about it.
I Can Die Too is giving fourth-wall-breaking, tragicomedy, musical theatre chaos, all at once. Come and watch something fall apart in real time. It’s fine. It’s totally fine.
