The juxtaposed title can be taken literally. This contemporary play combines the suspenseful tale of a serial killer on the loose with an exploration of friendship and sexual identities. Up-front and graphic in both its language and its physical portrayal of sex, the work is both provocative and comic, although overall the play is scarcely a comedy. Translated into Catalan for this production, ‘Human Remains’ has been an international hit and has helped to establish its Canadian writer Brad Fraser as one of the more interesting dramatists of his generation.
