Description

Miriam works in finance in Singapore. Jade is settling into post-uni life while working in a London cafe. The sisters haven't spoken in two years. They are forced to pack up their childhood home side by side. As they sort through objects, from football trophies to pitch pipes to wigs to toy poodles, the play leaps through their childhood. Will they find a way to exist together in the present, whilst both accepting and freeing themselves from the past? Deadheads looks at the complexity and joy of loving someone while also allowing them to grow and change.
