The Last Week

Recommended by

  • Brian James Polak: The Last Week

    What a beautiful play this is. We often romanticize end-of-life scenarios but The Last Week avoids any of that. Our end will come how it comes and whoever is there is who's there. It reminds me to think about the people in my life while I have it and them.

    Jessie Salsbury's terrific snippet of a life, THE LAST WEEK, makes you lean into the conversation and question whether anyone is really, truly, ever ready to go.

    Jessie Salsbury's "The Last Week" is an honest look at what it means to live and the die, and living with the choices you've made in life and the consequences therein. Honest and unflinching in it's storytelling, this is a showcase piece for two actors, espically an older actor, and a chance for them to shine and make interesting choices.
