THE FUNERAL DIRECTOR

"

The Funeral Director places life and death side by side. And the set design by Amy Jane Cook highlights this beautifully. One half of the stage is occupied with a welcome room in the funeral parlour – a sofa with patterned cushions, passages from the Quran on the walls, potted flowers and framed photos of Ayesha and Zeyd. The other half of the stage is in stark contrast to this, housing the room in which they work: a gurney, a sink, kafans (shrouds which wrap dead bodies), with some clinical white lighting."
