Everyone in my family is dead or about to be — SOLD OUT
A dark comedy that hopes to make life's one inevitability a little less threatening.
When you’ve had someone very close to you die before their time, as my family has, talking openly about death is not just a coping mechanism, it’s a muscle.
This one woman show is a collection of stories about grief, resilience, and body disposal, as seen through the lens of my family (well, those that are left).
