The Angel of Death (or “Az” to his friends), is weary of the grim nature of his job, not to mention the paperwork. Despite the challenges, Az grins and bears it. His role is an important one. Or so he’s told...

He’s just a regular minor angel trying to make the best of a bad situation. But even Death works to a deadline, and with “Operation JD” just around the corner, Az may find that his may be sooner than he realised...

House of the Onion presents Deadline, a new play that asks: “What happens after we die?” “Is a life without purpose one worth living?” “How much paid leave is the Angel of Death entitled to a year?” All these questions and more will be answered in a show that is equal parts funny as it is tragic, and highlights the importance of how we should strive to make every moment count, whether you are mortal or immortal.
