Synopsis
A skin-crawling debut that peels back the veil from the institution of marriage and exposes the rot underneath.
Bea has just got engaged. It should be the most exciting time of her life, but she can't shake the feeling that something is wrong. Her engagement ring doesn't fit well - her finger is swollen and painful. As she begins to look at dresses and venues, she notices her skin is flaking and her hair is beginning to thin.
Nor can she shake the memories of a previous proposal from her ex-boyfriend a decade earlier. Back then she was resistant to commitment, young, confident, with her whole life ahead of her. If she ever were to marry, she'd always imagined breaking with tradition - an elopement, a brightly-coloured outfit, an open marriage.
But as plans for the big day solidify, Bea begins to see the appeal of a big white dress, a huge reception, and a life with just one man. Yet the engagement ring is getting tighter and tighter. Something is crawling under her skin. Someone is watching them from the shadows.
DEATH DO US is a skin-crawling feminist horror story that explores what marriage means for women today.
