The Dilly Dally of Death & Dying

We’re all going to die so might as well laugh about it.

For their 20th year of creating work Fairly Lucid productions are bringing you a new show about life’s hardest topic - the end.

For six months, writer Ben Noble thought he was about to die. Waiting for signs of the end and grappling with what it meant to live with an expiry date. As a result he and the company decided to talk to people about death and grief. Using these interviews as a springboard: a charming, humorous and silly comedy emerged, exploring mortality and what we leave behind. Blending music, storytelling, autofiction and audience participation, this is a theatre experiment you want to be a part of.

Join us for a profound, thought-provoking and hilarious exploration.

Get ready to have a few laughs before you kick the bucket!
