About this book
A short play about death by Caryl Churchill.
A funeral party for a man with an adventurous past and a ginger cat that needs a home.
Where is he now? Is his heart lighter than a feather? How did he die? And what happens to his friends?
Caryl Churchill's play Here We Go was premiered at the National Theatre, London, in November 2015.
