An original play in which a family waits for the matriarch to pass while attending to the mundane bureaucracy of dying: paperwork, packing up her things, long hours at the hospital—a real drag as they say, until it isn’t. All of a sudden the play splits in two when the jaded playwright takes the reins and decides the play’s not worth finishing. What ensues is a meta-comedy exploring life, death, family, and the creative process with cheeky irreverence and unapologetic sincerity.
Premiered at Piggott Theater in collaboration with Stanford Theater Lab and the Department of Theater and Performance Studies at Stanford University, February 2023
