Dead Ed In My Head 

An hilarious and unexpectedly moving story of two generations coming to terms with life. Teenager Tod has a few issues in his life, not least an inability to focus on anything that’s … well … important. His dad has left home and his mum is nine months pregnant. Tod’s only friend is Ed, a stroppy old guy who lives in a nursing home. When Ed dies, Tod finds Ed living on in his head – not as a memory, but as a real, noisy, stroppy person. They have conversations – and Ed even gets to enjoy his own funeral! But what is it like when you have to share your teenage head with a dead rocker? Ed thinks he can offer Todd useful advice – especially when it comes to girls. But Ed stuffed up his own life – is he going to make Tod’s even worse?
