these words that’ll linger like ghosts till the day i drop down dead by Georgie Bailey (paperback)

‘and every sun we’d walk towards would always be setting, in that beautiful place between the lightness and the dark.’

Two living, breathing people face each other in a theatre space. One is here to help. The other is here for redemption.

these words that’ll linger like ghosts till the day i drop down dead is a new experimental play from the multi-award-winning playwright Georgie Bailey, exploring the things we wish we’d said to those that have left, how effective art is as a coping therapy mechanism, how we manage grief and how ultimately, we can never change the past no matter how hard we try.
