True

Synopsis:
It begins with a journey through a tunnel that feels like a birth; the whole audience ushered into a pulsating fabric tube - its surface haunted by strange shapes and voices - that leads from the outside world straight into the big exhibition space. But when we arrive, we soon learn that we've come not for a birth but for a death. the great yawning space has become a kind of limbo beyond the death of a beautiful woman called Lucy Palmer. It is part funeral parlour, part Frankenstein laboratory in which tree distraught people Lucy has left behind - her lover Anthony, her husband John, and their daughter Paula - try to come to terms with her death, or, in John's case, to reverse it.
