How To Catch a Grim Reaper!

20 - 23 May, 2026

Pitt St Theatre

written by Helen Vivienne Fletcher

directed by Jorja Stevens

A pretentious filmmaker, a slacker med student, and a sociopathic

psychology major come up with a plan to catch the Grim Reaper.

There's only one problem... they need to kill one of their friends to do it.

Well, almost kill him, that is. None of them expect it to work, nor do they

have any idea what to do when they end up with death caged in their
lounge.

This is a Kiwi horror-comedy epitomising the worst possible outcome

for a group project— one where nobody knows what they're doing (but
everyone pretends they do), and everything that could go wrong, does.

It pokes fun at our need to meddle with death, offering a new take on

Grim Reaper mythology, showing what happens when we stick our heads

where they don’t belong.

Wednesday, Thursday, Friday at 7pm

Saturday at 6pm

The Pitt St Theatre has wheelchair access & disabled park by the

front door ramp which can be held for you if you request.
