unfortunately people will die but that’s okay because they might come back later if you believe in that sort of stuff personally I don’t but you should do what you need to do even if it means leaving me behind

Two people sit upon a castle’s walls, staring across the great darkness beyond them, physically, mentally and spiritually. They die. And the action repeats, till it does not, till it does again. A play about the cycle of existence and our understanding of what makes us our own selves.

    This play is wonderfully funny and feels like a dream unfolding and winding, ruminating on the themes of what it means to live, die, and what to do with all the moments in between. I haven't been able to get it out of my mind since reading it. It touches on the essential fears and hopes that drive us and does so with an incredibly unique voice. I would be thrilled to see a production of this piece, if only to sit with my own grief and existentialism on a night where I know I'll also laugh.
