Outside The Box with Liz Rothschild

  • the bookshop alehouse 21 Portswood Road Southampton, England, SO17 2ES United Kingdom (map)

In our society death has become taboo – the territory of professionals. In this performance Liz Rothschild confronts the ‘Elephant in the room’ with grace and humour, asking its audience to embrace mortality and look on the bright side of life. Combining the everyday with the profound, this one-woman show will convince you how much richer and less lonely life can become if we dare to look death in the eye.

Liz Rothschild is a writer, actor, playwright, celebrant and the founding director of award winning burial ground Westmill Woodland Burial Ground.  Liz has toured the UK and US with ‘Outside the Box’ and many of the stories come from her audiences.

In this original and cathartic production hear mercurial tales and miraculous truths alongside Liz’s own unique insights and experiences collected over the years from life’s finishing line. Heartbreaking, angry, uplifting, laugh-out-loud funny and gloriously contradictory - these stories will reveal just how personal our relationship to death is.

1hr performance + readings, followed by opportunity for audience questions.
