The dilly dally of death & dying
participant call out
A striking new comedy about death and grief.
The Dilly Dally of Death & Dying is a bold, joyful musical dramedy that reimagines how we talk about life’s only certainty—death. Blending live music, storytelling, audience participation, and a queer sensibility, it invites laughter, reflection, and connection around mortality, care, and community.
Our first season was part of last year’s Melbourne Fringe Festival and sold out weeks before opening. We’re working with Kingston Arts to further develop the production for future seasons.
