The Deadcoats

Please note: this event is taking place at Myplace Youth & Community Centre in Harold Hill.

Event location: 343 Dagnam Park Drive, Harold Hill, RM3 9EN

On the way to their final Friday Night Minehead Extravaganza, Harry Ham & Eddie Egg died in a horrific crash with a twenty-ton truck. They were the greatest Redcoats Butlins had ever seen. Now, 60 years of purgatory later, they are ‘The Deadcoats’, two ghosts stuck in a form of light entertainment that’s deader than they are. Join them at a dilapidated resort near you, as they attempt to give their final performance at long last, and complete their unfinished business.

The Deadcoats – you don’t have to die laughing… because they’ve already done it for you.

Written and performed by George Mills and Nigel Munson. Produced by 6FootStories. Supported using public funding by Arts Council England.
