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.Please note that while all media gallery content is provided by verified members of the event, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society does not review or approve this content before it is posted.

Impressive show, powerful but understated acting, the storyline and script felt extremely real, full of emotion. Go see it!

I found this short play absolutely captivating. It’s funny but also really heart-rending, even painful at times, but ultimately uplifting - all in an hour! I find it amazing how theatre, when it’s good, can do that to you. Sensitive, keenly-observed writing here and movingly brought to life by the young actors and director. Go and see it!

This is a really thought provoking, moving and beautifully acted play. The writing is wonderful producing numerous laughs, touching moments and plenty of nostalgia; especially if you have experienced clearing out your parents' home. Don't miss it!

This production was phenomenal! Was taken really off guard by how charming but heartbreaking it was. Me and my mum shed a little tear at the end. So far best thing we’ve seen at the fringe. Everyone involved is extremely extremely talented. Do not miss this little fringe gem.
