DEAD AIR by Alfrun Rose

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 about the intense desire for one more conversation. An AI resurrection with dark humour and offbeat storytelling. There is no AI in the performance; instead, it is intentionally analogue, with Alfrun playing all 7 characters, often in dialogue with each other. "A female Hamlet" (The Guardian), but with more Wi-Fi and fewer curtains. And just like grief itself, it refuses to let you go.
