Deadnamed

by Dian Cathal

A funeral meets a queer circus.

Ever notice how a lot of mainstream language around coming out as transgender is about loss for the persons family and friends, as if the person they knew had, well, you know…

Dian did, so he’s throwing his own funeral tonight, and you’re all invited! Well, a funeral for his old self. The trans debate with an actual trans person, can you imagine?

Post show Q & A: there will be a post show lead by Dian directly following the matinee performance. This is open to all who attended that performance.

”it’s funny and incredibly sweet… Dian handles the emotional maelstrom of the show with utmost grace. His charm and wit seep into every moment. Deadnamed is intelligent and moving; Dian packs a lot into its short run time. It’s an intense and emotional show, but you are safe in Dian’s hands.’ ★★★★★ Blizzard Comedy
‘It’s a stunning piece of theatre, and we then discover why we are really here. And it’s incredibly moving and likely to be different in every iteration.’ ★★★★ The Reviews Hub
