ABOUT
An emotional one-hander starring Dara Beth. all my ex-lovers are dead delves into love, desire, heartbreak, and the shared human experience, exploring the singular journey of one woman trying to navigate love. Through vulnerability, all my ex-lovers are dead prompts us to embrace our flaws and care for one another, cherishing our connections. This iteration is performed by writer and creative director Dara Beth but originally was performed by Maggie Gericke. All my ex-lovers are dead was first staged at the Artscape Theatre's 2021 New Voices Programme Selected text, and received a staged reading. In 2023 it was awarded a funded run at Toyota US Woordfees by STAND Foundations's Pen-To-Paper Programme Selected Text. all my ex-lovers are dead is also playing at the 2024 National Arts Festival in Makhanda as part of the Curated Programme.
“[A] raw, honest interpretation of a text about love and loss that makes you want to give [the actress] a hug at the end.” (translated from Afrikaans) – Litnet (Toyota Woordfees 2023.)
