Incredible. I absolutely loved this. I still have a knot in my throat and tears on my shirt. Beautifully written and performed.

Good Grief is a beautifully written piece. I received this in my spring book club box. N is a young woman growing up in Philadelphia. Her best friend recently died and she’s learning how to cope with what she’s feeling. The imagery just reading it is gorgeous. The characters are all beautifully written and are sure to provide a welcome challenge to any actor cast in the roles. I hope I can see this live at some point.

Absolutely Beautiful. The characters are so real you feel as though you’ve known them in your own life or you’d wish you had with their charming personalities. A story of finding oneself though love and loss in a way that’s earnest and entertaining, raw but not heavy, through a perspective that is so rarely represented.

This hardly captures all the nuances and captivating aspects of this play. My parting thoughts: read it. Share it. Talk about it. Read it again.
