Retrospective by T J Elliott
14 - 23 May 2026, 7.30 pm
Renowned artist Rory McGrory wakes up trapped in a mysterious art gallery surrounded by empty
canvas’s. No art. No answers. And no way out—until he’s greeted by his ex-wife Pippa, who also
happens to be dead.
She’s determined to convince him that he is, too—and that the artless frames are, in fact, his life’s retrospective. But why can’t he see his own work? As Rory ricochets between denial and acceptance, he’s forced to confront his unresolved past and the emotional toll of a life half-seen. Is this strange afterlife gallery a purgatory—or his final chance to see his life clearly?
