Goodbye Dandelion

Thu 16 Jul

About Goodbye Dandelion

Goodbye Dandelion is the story of an unlikely friendship with a 50-year age gap. Oh, and death! 

Told by real-life siblings (Maddie on the mic and Marcus on the keys) it follows 87-year-old Darcy’s last years on earth through the eyes of a new friend. Blending storytelling and live piano, this bold and witty new show tries to make sense of the un-make-sense-able and asks what’s stopping us from really living. From the team behind Fringe hit Pickle Jar.
