Dead Good
Bob and Bernard don’t have that much in common. But after a chance meeting at their weekly hospice group, they realise they share one ambition – to do some serious living before they die. So, with a bottle of Bollinger and the keys to Bernard’s Bentley in hand, they hit the road, and take on one final, death-defying adventure. Originally commissioned by London International Mime Festival, Dead Good is a funny and poignant theatre show celebrating friendship – and the importance of living every precious day to the full. Bubbling with humour and awash with pathos, this beautifully crafted production is performed entirely without words.
This performance is accessible to deaf and hard of hearing audiences without a signer.
Dead Good is a Vamos co-production with Corn Exchange Newbury and a co-commission with London International Mime Festival, made with support from The Leche Trust.
Post-show talk
Following the performance there will be a post-show talk hosted by Vamos giving you a chance to ask your questions to the cast and creatives that worked on the show.

This show takes a viewer so deep into oneself that one is left dazed somehow…Wonderful just so wonderful.

With lots of laughter and fun throughout, at the end when the lights are fading, you could have heard a pin drop…and there wasn’t a dry eye left in the theatre.
