The author deftly handles multiple scenes in a few pages. And deals with a serious subject with a light touch. Achingly sweet, this is a wonderful play.

A unique take on death and the metaphysical combined with a fascinating perspective of grief from the other side of the veil. Wonderfully moving and emotional.

This play is ingenious in its unique way of speaking to the audience, and offers a heartwarming ending. It really illustrates the concept of love transcending death.
