[spectre] Theatre boss to stage own funeral

[Janos Sugar]

A Hungarian theatre director dying of cancer is to lie in state while 
still alive so he can experience his own funeral.
Peter Halasz, who is also an actor, writer and satirist, is in the 
final stages of liver cancer, and will begin lying in an open coffin 
at the Kunsthalle in the Hungarian capital Budapest later this week.
"I'm curious how a funeral looks from the other side," Halasz told 
BBC World Service's Outlook programme.
"I want to take a look at my friends and listen to the eulogies, and 
the final farewell.
