Don't miss the world premiere of this darkly hilarious, home-grown farce!

GET YOUR TICKETS NOW: tinyurl.com/TilDeathShow
Playing at Neptune Theatre's Scotiabank Stage May 25-29, 2022

’Til Death Do Us Part is a farce about love, marriage, and how far those bonds can be pushed before they break. At a small town hotel, Kira and Ryan are two days from their wedding, when, through a series of unfortunate events, they wake up to a dead stranger in their bed. With friends and family arriving by the minute, and Kira’s disapproving mother breathing down their necks, the couple must hide the body and get through dinners, rehearsals and family celebrations without being discovered. As they struggle to keep their secret under wraps, cracks in their seemingly perfect relationship appear and multiply, leading to a race to the altar where they face that age-old question: “If you can’t hide a body together, why are you getting married in the first place?”
