Dan Is Dead/I Am A Yeti

When a manipulative Yeti moves in with a couple on the rocks, pandemonium reigns in the suburban flat. From leaving clumps of mystical Yeti hair everywhere, to giving relationship advice, this she-Yeti is making an insidious impact on Tom and Yvette’s existence.

Told through the eyes of Yeti, an aspiring filmmaker, Dan is dead/I am a Yeti moves through melodrama to thriller to sketch comedy. It’s satirical, it’s sharp, it’s silly. It’s the sorry story of a Yeti trying to make it big and a couple trying to make it work.

NZ’s most “ferocious comic talents” (Theatreview) Dan Musgrove and Natalie Medlock band together with Bruce Mason Playwright Nominee Thomas Sainsbury for the 2011 Comedy Festival to present a dark and absurd comedy about a Yeti trying to ‘make it’ in New Zealand.

Directed by Chapman Tripp Award-Winning Director Sophie Roberts (Mr. Marmalade, Blinkers, Dog is Dead) and... Starring the new nurse on Shorty St - Natalie Medlock as Yeti, and Thomas Sainsbury (Joseph and Mahina, Idiots) and Yvette Parsons (Gas, Entertaining Mr Sloane) as Tom and Yvette, and a multitude of hilarious characters including: Bob Dylan, a turtle and Sir Ed himself.

This sinister comedy is sure to be a hairy little treat.

Disturbing, demented and madly amusing; Dan is dead/I am a Yeti is about what comes between marriage, what gets hidden and what’s worth fighting for.
