“Everyone has the desire to tell their story, to let the world know they matter”- Charity Shop DJ

Radio 4’s Desert Island Discs was into its 60th year. The format was simple: a guest was invited to choose the 8 songs they would take to a desert island. For one night only, Women & Theatre in association with Charity Shop DJ, were inviting you and your mates to the first ever ‘Death Island Discs’ night.

You could pick, play, dance or just chat about the records you would want played at your wake. Rummage through the DJ’s discs and put on the songs that mean the most to you – songs you have laughed, loved and cried to – songs you’d want to take with you.

This event was part of Women & Theatre’s development phase for a new project called 'Exit Strategy' about death and dying. Supported by Arts Council England, The Sir Barry Jackson Trust and The Bryant Trust.
