In just a few pages this excellent play hits hard. It is always difficult to say goodbye, but when there is so much hurt and so much left unsaid, it's difficult to forgive, and therefore to say those goodbyes.
The dialogue Brian uses is intense, close, gritty, yet there is so much live hear which is still apparent.
So moving.

This beautiful play about closure for family in a father’s final moments reveals how complicated our familial relationships can be, especially if we are estranged from a parent and have to deal with unexpected loss. This play deals more with siblings than parent-child bonding, even though we don’t know much about the brother/sister relationship, which is what makes the play so fascinating to me. How has the father’s lack of affection impacted the siblings’ relationship? Maybe this a new start for them. This is a gift for actors.

Wow, this is a strong gut punch and an important play that a lot of people can related to. I love Brian's mastery of dialogue and clear, straightforward storytelling. This meditation on dying and grief is powerful and very real. Thank you for your words and this play, Brian. Great work.
