Written by Lily Lowe-Myers
Composed by Omar Sharyar
Presented by Hatstand
Cleopatra kills herself with a poisonous asp.
Her servants Charmian and Iras have to honour their duty and follow her into the afterlife.
Only one problem.
They are not so keen on this idea.
Hatstand Productions, the masters of the perfectly sized musical, take you on a journey of twists and turns, bringing you a dark comedy of life, death, murder and hope. With show stopping musical numbers and their infamous cut throat banter, being stuck in a tomb has never been so much fun!

This play is witty, funny and beautifully performed, but there is more to it. The two young women are faced with the decision of taking their own lives, as is expected of them. However, the pull of life is strong. It made me think of those young people who kill themselves and take other people with them in the name of a 'God'. Happily these two women choose life, even if it may take more courage to live than to commit suicide, as is expected of them. It made me think for days. Very important message, great music and songs. Funny and moving. Well worth seeing it. I strongly recommend it.

Fantastic show. I went down on my lunch break with no idea what to expect. Laughed a lot and loved the music. Great way to spend my lunch break.
