"Death and taxes, as they say."
Just like Amy proclaims in Catafalque, grief and loss is an inevitable part of life. Check out this article in the Scotsman, where Amy speaks to Susan Mansfield about what our show is exploring alongside death itself:

So proud of Catafalque’s review from @scotsman_arts!
“a controlled and delicately-paced one-hour monologue that saves its most shocking moments for the end, and leaves plenty of room for understanding and reflection.” - @joycemcm
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Bravo @amyjcon and @bethmorton_uk!

When I take my seat up to six times a day in fringe venues over the coming days, I will remind myself that every show is a miracle. But theatre should not have to rely on miracles; we need investment. thestage.co.uk/opinion/edinb…

Enjoyed @scissorkick's production of Catafalque @Summerhallery today. Beautifully written & performed by @amyjcon, from her experience as a local authority celebrant, Amy gives fascinating insights into the role, but what do you do when you have to write an eulogy for a monster?

First show of @edfringe was a belter from Amy Conway with 'Catafalque' which has some jaw-dropping moments as a celebrant tackles death, ritual and legacy. See it at @Summerhallery 1-11 Aug and then touring Scotland (and it's always ace to see one of my images out in the wild 👏)

Or how about peering inside @ScissorKickCo's preparations with theatremaker @amyjcon - @Summerhallery:
