Death, the Girl, and the Dance follows Death in his office, waiting for a client who is incredibly late. Enter Aphrodite, a prickly and newly dead 24 year old who died falling up the stairs immediately after breaking up with her long time boyfriend, Tom. Before Aphrodite can move through the door to What Comes Next, Death must process her, what she calls ‘ghost therapy’. Although initially hesitant, it quickly becomes apparent that Death needs some ghost therapy himself. As they grow closer, a surprise phone call comes through, giving Aphrodite a once-in-a-lifetime choice: Does she return to the land of the living, or instead continue into the What Comes Next, whatever it is. The show is about feeling in control, the way we cope with death and failure, and the way relationships develop, for better or worse.
