Newcastle Theatre Company presents
The Rest Is Silence

8 Oct 2022 to 22 Oct 2022

Directed by Claire Williams

Assistant director Phillip Ross

If you could write your own eulogy, what would you say?

Dan has a way with words.

He is an aspiring actor, paying the bills by delivering eulogies at funerals.

Dan is hired by terminally ill Bedford, who wants to control what is said about him when he’s dead.

Somehow Dan has to find not just the words, but the truth, to talk about a life not yet ended.


A psychological drama dressed in dark humour, written by former ABC journalist and presenter Scott Bevan.
