Necrophilia

Necrophilia

    

Maybe I’m a prude, but a play which spends an hour contemplating the ethics of a ‘victimless’ crime such as Necrophilia isn’t a play worth watching. Both for the fact that I think there’s very little wiggle room morally re: necrophilia, but also that this text offers very little in the way of re-examining necrophilia. I was left wondering what the artists saw in this work beyond cheap shock humour wrapped up in a crude attempt at a feel-good romcom.
