all my ex-lovers are dead is an all-too-honest mostly-autobiographical reflection on love, desire, poor life choices, and how many cups of tea it takes to wake up and smell the coffee.

Stay up until the sun rises as Echo weaves tales of vulnerability, longing, and what we do with the love we have left over when the lovers are gone.

A selected text for Artscape’s New Voices Programme (2021) and STAND Foundation’s Pen To Paper Programme in association with NATi and Vrystaat Kunstefees (2022) where it was awarded a fully-funded run at Toyota SU Woordfees 2023, all my ex-lovers are dead was most recently staged at the National Arts Festival’s as part of the Curated Programme.

all my ex-lovers are dead is written and directed by Dara Beth and performed by multi-award-winning Qondiswa James, with sound design by Denise Onen.
