Dead Air
Since Alfie’s dad died, he’s visited everyone’s dreams but hers. Rude. Desperate to talk to him, she uses AiR, an AI chatbot for the dead. A heartfelt, funny, and glitchy deep dive into grief, ghosts, and digital obsession.
Written and performed by Alfrun Rose, Dead Air is a play with dark humor and offbeat storytelling. Hamlet, but with more Wi-Fi and fewer curtains. And just like grief itself, it refuses to let you go.
