THE DILLY DALLY OF DEATH & DYING
Description
The Dilly Dally of Death & Dying is a joyful, wild ride through life’s most inevitable truth—death. But don’t expect doom and gloom. This immersive theatrical experience is bursting with heart, humour, music, and dance, as it invites audiences to laugh, cry, and maybe even boogie their way through big questions about mortality, grief, and meaning. With tea, biscuits, game shows, dinosaurs, and disco, it’s a life-affirming celebration that turns fear into connection, and endings into beginnings.
