About Imogen Defriez
Grief Encounters is a one woman show written and performed by Imogen Defriez, presented at Theatre 3 during the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. The show follows three siblings on an emergency overnight train journey from London to the south of France, racing to reach their father in hospital. Along the way, the characters experience bizarre and tender encounters. Fast-paced and funny, the show arrives at an emotional place — a reminder to tell the people we love how we feel. The show runs for 45 minutes. Tickets are £12.
Why see this show?
A fast, funny one woman show that turns a train journey into something genuinely affecting. Short enough to fit anywhere in your Fringe schedule, and likely to stay with you afterwards.
