Two great artists - Robert Louis Stevenson and Paul Gauguin -
confront their own mortality in the strange and supernatural
Polynesian islands they made their home. 'Long pig: A white man to
be eaten' Deep in the Polynesian islands of the Pacific Ocean,
hungry spirits circle the homes of Scottish writer Robert Louis
Stevenson and artist Paul Gaugin, who lived and died on the islands
only a few years apart. Stevenson has spent thirty years in
rigorous combat with the Grim Reaper, but is he finally ready to
concede defeat? Gauguin has bought rum, arsenic and morphine for
his suicide cocktail and is certain he's not long for this world,
but he'll be damned if they give him a Catholic burial in
consecrated ground. As their final hours approach, they face the
eternal question: is it how we prepare for death that really
governs the way we live? Nigel Planer's play Death of Long Pig was
first staged at the Finborough Theatre, London, in 2009.
