Edmund Morris is bringing his Edinburgh Festival Fringe comedy The Grim to Southwark Playhouse Borough this winter.
Directed by Ben Woodhall, this spine-tingling comedy delves into the bizarre world of dead bodies, before unwittingly taking a terrifying turn into the supernatural.
Set in 1964, the show takes place as Shaun is trying to get through another dull day as the proprietor of his family’s undertakers alongside his hopeless and superstitious assistant Robert. On the night they are due to fit the notorious Jackie Gallager for his coffin, this exhilarating farce follows their journey as they hold out against the horrifying reanimated corpse of Britain’s most violent criminal.
The cast comprises of writer Morris (You’re Dead to Me) as Shaun, Louis Davison (Poltergeist) as Robert and Harry Carter (Magic Mike’s Last Dance) as Jack.
The Grim plays Southwark Playhouse Borough from Wednesday, November 26 – Saturday, December 6, 2025. Tickets here.
