Dead Air
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 with dark humor and offbeat storytelling. Hamlet, but with more Wi-Fi and fewer curtains. And just like grief itself, it refuses to let you go. No AI is used in the show, it is intentionally intensely analogue, with Alfrun playing all of the characters, often in dialogue with each other by herself.
