Patricia Hartshorne and Michael Elphick interrupt their touring schedule for a seventh visit to Buxton Fringe with this new black comedy set in a funeral parlour. Buxton Fringe Comedy Award-winner 2000, Patricia Hartshorne, takes a break from her much-acclaimed performance as ‘Marlene Dietrich’ to join Steve Titley, John Churnside and Ted Taylor in this one-act play by the late Raymond Hartshorne. What brings Alec and Dave to spend their lunch-break at the undertaker’s?  Who is the deceased, and how does his wife fit into all this?  

What is there to smile about?
