AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Meet Jim. He died horribly this morning in an alcohol and pill fuelled overdose. Which is a shame seeing as though he wasn't really a bad guy. It's now up to his two best friends to try and turn back the clock by using his lifeless corpse to tell his story and give him the freedom from addiction he never had. A kind of modern day fable, The Adventures of Dead Jim runs like Requiem for a Dream meets Weekend at Bernies. On ice. Well, not quite but you get our drift! An hilarious and very physical black comedy.'
