'''LARP at a Funeral''' is a [[theatre-style]] larp based on the 2007 film "Death at a Funeral". It was run for the first time at [[Hydra]] 2014 in Wellington, [[New Zealand]] and was written by Ellen Boucher and Jenni Sands. The game is notable for its incorporation of the [[Nordic]] [[monologue]] technique into an otherwise-traditional theatre-style game - a combination which allows players to create and signal opportunities for comedy.

==Summary==
The patriarch of the family has died, and now it's time for family and friends to gather and pay their respects, which means all the fun of a family gathering. Old rivalries will surface, revenge will be plotted, lovers will be revealed...all over a nice cup of tea and maybe a small slice of cake. This is England, after all...

Inspired by the film 'Death at a Funeral', this is a lighthearted black comedy about some of the great Facts of Life - death, love, and sandwiches.
