  • Produced by Zanetti Productions
  • From Sun 23 Sep
  • Mutiple Venues
  • Dunedin, Wellington

High summer, December 1998, Dunedin.

This is a comedy about revolution, death, unfulfilled love, and a possum.But it is also a true story about grief and enduring friendship featuring music from The Verlaines to the Backstreet Boys, and the words of Tuwhare, Baxter and Bishop.

My Best Dead Friend follows 18 year old Anya and her four best friends - a group of rebel geeks recently emancipated from the torturous shackles of high school.

My Best Dead Friend is an authentic and brilliant storytelling comedy show.

My Best Dead Friend is a part of Arts Festival Dunedin 2018 and then travels to Wellington
