Goodbye Dandelion

Maddie and Marcus Rice, Charlotte Pleasants and Underbelly • Professional company

60 minutes•Belly Dancer
This is a story of an unlikely friendship with a 50-year age gap. Oh, and death! Told by real-life siblings (Maddie on the mic, 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. ‘Maddie Rice oozes presence and exquisite comic timing' ***** (FEST: Fleabag). ‘Brilliantly written and highly relevant’ ***** (Three Weeks: Pickle Jar).
