MY BEST FRIEND DROWNED IN A SWIMMING POOL
When Henry cracks his head off a concrete sculpture and drowns in a swimming pool his friends are left floundering. They each reach for their own coping mechanisms, but soon realise that they are insufficient: chain smoking, reciting decades of the rosary, taking recreational narcotics, bitching, and trashing IKEA furniture will never fill the void of a dead best friend. In Henry’s absence they are drowning too, and their strategies for staying afloat are intriguing, exasperating and heart-breaking.
Edinburgh Fringe hit My Best Friend Drowned in a Swimming Pool is a dark, witty drama which delves in to friendship, love and loss. A clever combination of dance, theatre and music presents the harsh reality of youth, a place where darkness and humour collide to provide an insightful critique of the society we live in.
Contains strong language and some mild sexual references
Suitable for ages 14+
