Dead at Last, No More Air is a brutal, irreverent and bizarrely comical piece about what happens when an emerging stage production is sabotaged by outsiders. Following a dispute with the cast, the director replaces all the actors with pensioners from a nearby home for the elderly. At first compliant and polite, the ‘forgotten and dispossessed’ gradually start to question the director’s authority, leading to a ‘coup d’état’ where the theatre’s cleaning lady is selected as the group’s leader. Not everybody survives the new order. Marking two decades since the playwright’s death, Just a Must presents the English language premiere of this forgotten masterpiece by award-winning Austrian writer Werner Schwab.
