Ghostware

A sad play by funny people about grief and AI.

When Gertrude gets a spam call from her own sister trying to sell her Raybans she’s surprised – mainly because telemarketer is an odd choice of career for someone who’s been dead for over a year.

This blackly comic play explores the murky area where grief, family and technology intersect. Written by comedians and writers Cat Finch and Rose Bishop, and performed by Annie Lumsden (as seen on Utopia and Aunty Donna’s Coffee Cafe).

After a sold out debut run in 2025 Ghostware is bringing its sophomore outing to Melbourne Fringe.

‘At once unsettling and strangely tender… a captivating and attentively crafted exploration of how technology tangles itself into death and grief, handled with… care, insight and wit.’ (Myron My)
