    Death. It's everywhere. Especially in Victorian London. Especially if you run a funeral business. And especially if you're Etheridge, an undertaker whose long-time business partner has just kicked the bucket. Now, commissions are piling up: snobbish families, oedipal complexes, double lives, truant vicars, ferrets, raving ghosts, and a surprise christening. All these end up on Etheridge's walnut counter. And all within the space of an hour.

    Watch Etheridge try to squeeze every penny he can from this unrelenting procession of absurdity, lurching between slapstick, surrealism, and cynicism. It's an original student-written comedy show that will have you dying of laughter (or cholera, or old age, or food poisoning, or a freak radish accident).
