The Show

In the end we all become stories… 

Matty’s dead, but it’s not as bad as it sounds. There’s no need to be sad, he says, sure he didn’t have much going for himself in the first place. He’s no big loss… Matty recounts his last day alive, over and over, telling us contradicting versions of a day in a life that was already falling apart. McCarthy’s irreverent story is about love and grief, and a young man making sense of his life on the day that he dies.
He Dies in the End is a time-bending, funny and heartfelt piece of new writing, and a riff on time and potential.
Premiered at Dublin Fringe Festival 2025 and winner of the First Fortnight Award.
