'The English Way of Death'

Thursday, 28 August 2008

Have finally found us a coffin! Having researched 'poorhouse' coffins with Cripps of London - who referred us to 'The English Way of Death: the Common Funeral Since 1540'. We have established it would have been a plain unfurnished wooden coffin (not a box) with rope handles. Lo and behold! you can get just such a thing from eco-coffins.com (check them out, they're brill) who are sending us one tomorrow. It's flat-pack though; images of Ikea-style nightmares are floating before my eyes! (Susie - ASM)

  'I saw FFTMC at Newcastle Playhouse last night and it was fantastic. i have to put it as the best play I have ever seen and the lady who plays Bathsheba is an amazing actor. I felt that i was part of what was going on on stage....that's how good it was...thankyou!'
