Victoria Melody

Special pre-Edinburgh Festival preview.

Question - what does Victoria Melody have in common with a grandmother from Southern India and a student from a rural village outside of Moscow?

Answer - They have worn the same hair.

When performance artist Victoria Melody competed in beauty pageants for her previous show, Major Tom, a hairdresser advised her to wear hair extensions. That comment set her off on an extraordinary adventure to find out whose hair she was wearing.

Victoria's boundless curiosity takes us on a serendipitous journey around the world, meeting a real-life baddie, a saviour in the shape of a Bollywood financier, the most expensive wedding to have ever taken place, a Celebrity Big Brother contestant, forensic crime scene investigations and hair. Lots of hair. Sacks of it.

What transpires is a deceptively simple true story about the search for three female strangers from different parts of the world connected by DNA.
