Death of an Epitaph

Recommended by

  • Andrew Martineau: Death of an Epitaph

    This play examines what words inscribed on headstones mean and whether they have any value at all. It also got me to reflect on how death shows us how we are alike, and how leaving a legacy that lives on in loved ones’ minds is a worthwhile endeavor. I loved the spareness of language and the deep well of emotion in this brief play. Excellent work.

    What a haunting discussion of life between two besties. It is at once frank and mysterious and heartbreaking and warm. Will leave you thinking. Well done, Cuthbert.

    Death of an Epitaph is a graveyard exchange about the meaning of words on a headstone. The dialogue is quick and fast-paced with a deeper story between the lines.
