He’s dead, and it’s her job to prepare and present his body for his family’s final goodbye. She often imagines what each person’s life was like. But today she doesn’t have to imagine who he is. She knows him.
Faced with the body of the man who raped her eleven months ago, When We Died is a striking play about one woman’s choice to confront her trauma and tell her story, on her terms.
"Donnachie is really terrific - her body turning and twisting, bending and swaying to suggest the trauma of a woman looking for a way to move in life by taking care of the dead. It’s quietly hold-your-breath gripping" Lyn Gardner for Stagedoor.
Supported using public funding by the National Lottery through Arts Council England. An early version of the play was longlisted for the Bruntwood Prize for Playwriting in 2017 before premiering at VAULT Festival 2020 the week before national lockdown.
