DEATH* by Powerpoint
After a particularly bad dream during childhood left him terrified of death, Liam sets about seeing if he can finally make peace with the one human experience guaranteed to come to us all.
A show 38 years in the making, DEATH* by PowerPoint fuses a fear of the end with wonderings of what’s next and a grave sense of humour, all delivered through the most exhausting medium.
DEATH* by PowerPoint is the first solo show by Liam Gifford, a theatre-maker who has created new works and directed existing ones at theatres across the UK and in Europe.
