PERFECT DEAD GIRLS
There are three rules…
You can do anything you want
You can’t leave until they let you
They are always watching
In a purgatory plastered with graffiti, glitter, and teenage angst, two young girls find themselves trapped after their sudden deaths only to discover that they are not alone: something else is here, watching them, deciding who gets to leave and who gets left behind. Haunted by their deaths and the lives they’ve lost, the girls must battle each other and their own demons in a fragmented collage of memories, music, and Y2K pop culture to face what they’re truly willing to do to escape.
PERFECT DEAD GIRLS is a gruesome yet tender celebration of the joys and paranoias of girlhood, and an exploration of how young women survive in systems that ask them to tear each other down.

audience reviews
“Ambitious and raw, with an excellent grip on tone”
“Was captivated from start to finish… an absolute unmissable piece of theatre.”
“Funny and harrowing in turn, it ended on a pitch perfect note that really hit me.”
“Perfect Dead Girls is the book you can't put down. The TV show where you have to watch the next episode right away. This show will have you laughing, then crying, then laughing again, then send shivers down your spine.”
“Riveting from the jump… this play presents a crucible for girlhood: merciless and real.”
“Both girls do a tremendous job. Each thoroughly captivating in their respective roles. Laughing one minute, crying the next. We hang on the girls’ every word, and the ending is just perfect. Will see again.”
“Such an important subject and I hope to come and see it again if it tours the country!”
