I enjoyed this short, sweet play, and could relate, as I had an aunt who refused to wear black to funerals because she thought the deceased should be celebrated, and wearing colorful clothes was her way of showing what she felt. Some of the relatives would roll their eyes, but I believe she had the right idea, and so does Ms. Sullivan.

A sweet short play about two siblings arguing about appropriate dress for their mother’s funeral. Wasn’t sure where it was going and loved the surprise turn about at the end.

What a fantastic play. Ellen cleverly hides the direction this play ends up going. While you're rooting against the brother initially, Ellen does an amazing job of slowly eroding that position up until the end! Beautiful piece.
