    I first read this play and then saw it onstage. "Dead and Breathing" is an amazing script, navigating the concerns and pressures of dying with great humor. The relationship between the two characters is phenomenal. Some wonderful reveals throughout the script! A great script for unique casting. I would love to see it again on a bigger stage.

    One of my favorites by this talented writer…( arguably they all are though). Such a strong sense of what it means “ to care” for someone throughout the piece, you’re filled with a sense of diving into the last page and then hugging both characters for both similar and different reasons… and everyone’s ok with that.

    I highly recommend this play
