OUTSIDE THE BOX – A LIVE SHOW ABOUT DEATH
Liz is a performer, celebrant and award winning burial ground owner.
Her unique insights and experiences have created a highly original and
beautifully cathartic show, combining mercurial tales and miraculous
truths, collected over the years from life’s finishing line.
Funny,
wise and taboo busting; Outside The Box confronts the ‘Elephant in the
room’ with grace and humour, asking its audience to embrace mortality
and look on the bright side of life, with a weave of untold and
surprising stories, a hint of history and some pithy commentary on the
funeral industry (from one who knows!)
I loved this show! I can’t think of anything quite like it. Liz manages to talk about something
that affects us all, but we never talk about. She makes it both every
day and profound, and moves us to laughter and tears. She also empowers
us, not in a wishy washy way, but with real concrete recipes for action.
It’s a really useful show. She could be the Mary Berry of death!' Mike
