“‘This slot’s the early slot, the no budget, no frills slot. Low grade and high shame, the slot that no one wants. Welcome, to the ‘The Nine O’Clock Slot’ ”
Nine o’clock is the time of day that Councils bury the poor, the isolated, and the forgotten. These are the funerals that no one attends.
ice&fire confront the disturbing rise in the number of ‘paupers’ funerals’ in modern-day Britain, in this experimental new play that retraces the stories of four individuals buried in the same communal grave. The Nine O’Clock Slot is based on true-life accounts where heart-breaking stories find comic touches and uplifting conclusions.
Performed in the industrial underground spaces of the Red Gallery in Shoreditch, the play will take you on a downward journey from the world of the living to the off-limits world of the dead and dying. Fusing film, choreography, andspoken-word poetry with skilled physical comedy and even some song-and-dance numbers, this is a 360-degree immersive theatre experience.
ice&fire theatre have an unequalled track record in bringing human rights issues to the wider public. For the past decade, ice&fire have shone a light on urgent, difficult issues with humour, intelligence and style. The Nine O’Clock Slot is their latest timely and absorbing piece.
Death is the final adventure and the last taboo; we try to keep away, but can’t help ourselves looking. Be part of a select group of people who will witness what happens in The Nine O’Clock Slot.
This play was developed with the support of the National Theatre Studio.
