Aberdeen
Traverse space and time, in a race to save an icon from himself.

The critically acclaimed epic performance poem, Aberdeen, is an ode to Kurt Cobain, punk rock, rebellion and salvation.

Part eulogy, part fantasy, part biography, Aberdeen is a surreal conversation between multi-award-winning writer Cassie Workman and beloved icon, Kurt Cobain. Take a captivating journey to 1990s Aberdeen, Washington, in this mind-bending fantasy where one heartbroken fan must attempt to save the rock star from himself.

Aberdeen is a multidimensional kaleidoscope, a dark and intense exploration of grief and loss. You don’t have to be a fan of Nirvana to be moved by this incredible and unique story.
