Miriam works in finance in Singapore. Her sister Jade is settling into post-uni life while working in a London cafe. They haven’t spoken in two years.
But when their Mum finally remarries, they are forced back together, to pack up their childhood home side by side. As they sift through objects, from football trophies to pitch pipes to wigs to toy poodles, the play leaps through their childhood.
Will they find a way to reconnect and free themselves from the past? exist together in the present, whilst both accepting and freeing themselves from the past?
DEADHEADS looks at the complexity and joy of loving someone while also allowing them to grow and change.
Three Sisters Productions is a theatre company founded by three sisters, which focuses on producing and developing bold and compelling new writing. Most recently, they premiered AFTER SEX by Siofra Dromgoole at the Arcola Theatre and are taking DEADHEADS to Assembly George Square in Edinburgh before its Theatre503 run. WALK SWIFTLY AND WITH PURPOSE (2018) by Siofra Dromgoole, was developed with North Wall Arts Centre, performed at the Space on the Mile for the Edinburgh Fringe before transferring to Theatre503. BABY, WHAT BLESSINGS by Siofra Dromgoole (2019), was developed with the Royal Court and previewed at The Bunker theatre and then transferred to the Edinburgh Fringe at Space @ SurgeonsHall. It later transferred to Theatre503, The Golden Goose, The Old Red Lion and finally The Park Theatre where it was nominated for the Standing Ovation Award. WHEN WE WERE NORMAL by Maddie Lynes (2022) performed at the Space Triplex before it transferred to a sold-out run at the White Bear Theatre and later to the Rose Theatre in Kingston. The company premiered RIPE TOMATO (2022) at Vaults, curated a scratch night at the Hope Theatre and is developing a modern adaptation of La Ronde with a group of ten writers.

Maddie Lynes
Maddie Lynes is a playwright, screenwriter, and newly-qualified English teacher working at a comprehensive in London. Her plays have been staged at fringe venues in London, Cambridge and Edinburgh, centring on moments of fracture and connection in personal relationships. Her first play WHEN WE WERE NORMAL, a ‘tender coming-of-age story’ (The Scotsman), first toured in 2022 and was later revived at the Rose Theatre Gallery in 2024. Her second play HER VERY MANY FACES, won the Methuen Marlowe Other Prize in 2022. It was performed at the Corpus Christi Playroom and commended for its ‘intelligent exploration of a lonely mind’ (Varsity). Lynes’ short film SWIM, which she wrote and directed, won the inaugural Cambridge Creative Screenwriting Competition in 2021 and premiered the following year at St John’s Picturehouse. DEADHEADS is the second play by Lynes to be produced by Three Sisters. It previewed at the Old Red Lion, where it was selected by Assembly for this year’s Edinburgh Fringe.
